Why you should remove GPS from photos for safety
In today’s digital age, sharing a photo can unintentionally share your exact physical location. Most smartphones (iPhone and Android) automatically embed
GPS coordinates (geotags) into EXIF metadata. This hidden data can be used for tracking, doxxing, or stalking—especially when images are shared publicly
or forwarded without context.
How SecureGPS protects you (offline, no upload)
SecureGPS processes images locally on your device. Unlike online converters that upload files to a server, your photos never leave your browser.
Cleaning happens through safe re-encoding, which removes common metadata containers such as:
- GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude/altitude) that can pinpoint your home or workplace.
- EXIF camera metadata (device model, timestamps, camera settings).
- XMP/IPTC tags that may include editing history or additional identifiers.
Whether you’re sharing from the Philippines, Malaysia, Colombia, Pakistan, India—or anywhere globally—SecureGPS helps reduce location exposure before
you post or send a photo.
