Every smartphone photo can contain your exact GPS location, the time it was taken, and which device you used. Check what your photo is carrying — before someone else does.

GPS metadata is invisible when you look at a photo — but anyone with the original file can extract it in seconds.
A photo taken at home embeds your exact GPS coordinates — accurate to 3–5 metres. Anyone with the original file can find your house on Google Maps.
Multiple photos reveal patterns — where you work, when you leave home, which routes you take, which coffee shop you visit every morning.
Camera make, model, and serial number link every photo to your specific phone or camera — even across anonymous accounts.
Photos taken at home, school, or family outings embed those locations. Sharing original files publicly can reveal where your family spends time.
Upload any photo and we instantly scan for these hidden metadata fields:
Drag and drop any JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or WebP file. Your photo is processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Instantly see GPS coordinates plotted on a map, timestamps, camera details, and every metadata field embedded in the file.
If GPS data is found, strip it with one click and download a clean copy. The original on your device stays unchanged.
Unlike other metadata tools that upload your files to a server, GeoTag.world processes everything client-side in your browser. Your photos are never transmitted, never stored, and never accessible to us or anyone else.
Instagram and Facebook strip GPS from public posts — but email, Slack, Discord, Dropbox, Google Drive, and WhatsApp (document mode) preserve every byte of metadata. If you share the original file through any of these channels, your location data goes with it. Always check before sharing.
See which platforms strip metadata →Yes. Viewing GPS data and EXIF metadata is completely free — no account needed. You only need credits if you want to edit or remove the GPS data ($5 for 10 photos).
No. GeoTag.world processes everything in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your photo never leaves your device. We have zero access to your files.
If you plan to share the photo publicly, remove the GPS coordinates first. On iPhone, toggle off Location in the share sheet. On any device, use GeoTag.world to strip the GPS fields and download a clean copy.
Generally no. Screenshots capture screen content, not camera sensor data, so they typically do not contain GPS coordinates. However, some devices may embed device location in screenshot metadata — use this checker to verify.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp (photo mode), and Signal strip GPS from uploads. Email, Slack, Discord, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Telegram (document mode) preserve all metadata.
Yes — if the photo was taken at home with GPS enabled and you shared the original file through a platform that preserves metadata (email, cloud storage, Slack, Discord). The embedded coordinates are accurate enough to identify a specific house.
