About this tool
Photos from phones and cameras often carry EXIF metadata — GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps and more — embedded invisibly in the file. This can unintentionally reveal your location or device when a photo is shared.
This tool works by decoding each image and re-encoding its pixel data from scratch on an HTML canvas. Since a canvas only has access to color data, not the original file's metadata blocks, none of that EXIF information — including GPS tags — survives the round trip.
Because the pixels are redrawn rather than the file simply copied, this tool cannot verify or list which specific metadata fields existed in your original photo; it can only confirm that re-encoding discards all of it, along with things like embedded color profiles or thumbnail previews some formats also carry.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. GPS coordinates are stored as EXIF tags, and re-encoding an image through canvas discards all EXIF data, GPS included, since canvas only works with pixel colors.
