GPS Data Reveals Where The Photo Was Taken

Cameras and phones can embed latitude and longitude coordinates in the image metadata. This reveals your precise location.

Re-encoding Strips Most Location Tags

Exporting the image through a browser-based tool removes GPS metadata because the output is a fresh file.

Check Before Sharing On Public Platforms

Always verify that location data has been removed before uploading to marketplaces, forums, or social media.
