Remove GPS location from your photos
iPhone and Android photos quietly record the exact spot they were taken. ShredMeta reveals the coordinates hidden in your image, then removes them — all in memory, never written to disk.
What ShredMeta removes
GPS latitude, longitude and altitude
Location and place-name tags
The device and timestamps tied to the shot
Questions people ask
Do iPhone and Android photos contain GPS data?
By default, yes. Both save the GPS coordinates of where a photo was taken into the image's metadata, unless you've turned location off for the camera.
Does posting to social media remove GPS data?
Sometimes, but not reliably. Some platforms strip metadata, others don't, and files you send directly (email, messaging, AirDrop, cloud links) usually keep it. Removing GPS yourself before sharing is the only sure way.
Will removing GPS change how my photo looks?
No. Metadata is separate from the image pixels. The photo looks identical; it just no longer carries the location information.
Are my photos uploaded or stored?
Your file is processed entirely in memory and never written to disk. The original and the cleaned copy are wiped as soon as you're done.
