Remove location from a photo

Anyfile takes the GPS location out of a photo for free, right in your browser: nothing is uploaded. Drop JPG or HEIC photos below and clean copies download at once.

Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. By using Anyfile you agree to the Terms of Use.

What it does

The photo is saved as a JPG without its location, keeping the date, the camera and everything else. To remove all camera details, open it in the photo editor and choose Remove all when you download.

JPEG photoJoint Photographic Experts Group

The common photo format since the early 1990s, named after the committee that designed it. Lossy compression makes files much smaller by discarding detail the eye notices least.

Photographs for the web, email and cameras, where small files matter more than perfect detail.

Photos taken on iPhones and iPads, and on some Android phones and cameras.
