Every photo you share online has hidden GPS data in it (here's how to fix that)

Every time you take a photo with your phone, it bakes invisible data into the file. This includes:

Your exact GPS coordinates (accurate to a few meters)
Your phone model and settings
The exact date and time
Sometimes your name and copyright info
When you post that photo to social media, a forum, or a listing, you're sharing all of that data with the world. Stalkers, doxxers, and data brokers exploit this constantly.

So I built ExifErase — it strips all hidden metadata from your photos before you share them. No uploads, no sign-up, 100% free.

How it works
Drop a photo (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC from iPhone)
See what's hiding — ExifErase shows you the exact GPS, camera, and date data embedded in the file
Erase it — one click strips all metadata
Download the clean photo
The best part: the stripping happens via the Canvas API. When you re-encode an image to a canvas, the metadata simply doesn't carry over. Your file comes out completely clean.

The privacy model
100% client-side — photos are processed in your browser
Zero network requests — your photos never leave your device
No accounts, no tracking, no analytics
Open source — read every line of code
Why this matters
If you post a photo of your house, your kid, or your car online, you're also posting a map to your location. ExifErase makes sure that doesn't happen.

Your photos are yours. The data inside them shouldn't be shared without your knowledge.
