Scrubbr

Remove GPS location from an image

If your phone had location services on, your photo almost certainly carries the exact latitude and longitude where it was taken. Scrubbr finds those coordinates, removes them, and confirms they are gone — without uploading the image or recompressing it.

How location ends up in a photo

When location access is enabled, cameras write GPS coordinates into the EXIF block of each photo. Share that file and you may be handing over your home address, a friend’s house, or a sensitive location — often without realizing it.

Scrubbr decodes and displays the coordinates it finds so you can see exactly what would have leaked, then removes them.

Remove GPS only, or all metadata

You can strip just the GPS data while keeping camera settings and the color profile, or remove every metadata block at once. For JPEG and PNG this is lossless — the image itself is untouched.

Confirm the location is gone

After removal, Scrubbr re-reads the file and confirms no GPS coordinates remain. You can re-drop the cleaned image to verify there is no location data left.

How to remove GPS from an image

  1. 1Open the image. Drop your photo onto Scrubbr; it is read locally.
  2. 2See the coordinates. Scrubbr decodes and shows any GPS location found in the file.
  3. 3Remove GPS. Strip just the GPS block (or all metadata) and download the result.
  4. 4Verify. Scrubbr re-reads the output and confirms no location data remains.

Frequently asked questions

Will removing GPS change anything visible in the photo?

No. GPS lives in hidden metadata; removing it does not alter the image.

Is the GPS removal verifiable?

Yes. Scrubbr re-parses the cleaned file and confirms there are no GPS coordinates left.
