When location is on, your phone saves the spot where each photo was taken, often down to a few meters. Drop a photo to check it for GPS coordinates and download a copy without them.
A photo of something you sell, your garden or your child's first day at school can carry the coordinates of your home. Anyone who gets the original file can read them with free tools and put them on a map.
PureImage shows the location it finds before cleaning, removes every location field together with the rest of the metadata, and confirms that no hidden fields are left in the downloaded copy. The photo itself is not changed.
They remove the GPS fields from the picture they publish, but the original file on your phone keeps them. Photos sent by email, cloud link, as a document in a messaging app or uploaded to your own site usually keep the location.
Turn off location access for the camera app in your phone's privacy settings. Photos you already took keep their location until you clean them.
No. The check and the cleaning both run in your browser.
