EXIF GPS Extractor: Photo Location from EXIF

No. The image is read and parsed entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, so the file and any location it contains stay on your device.

Many phones write the exact latitude and longitude of where a photo was taken into its EXIF. Sharing that photo can reveal your home, workplace, or routine. Checking for GPS before posting, and stripping it if present, protects your location privacy.

It locates the JPEG EXIF block, reads the GPS information sub-directory, and decodes the latitude and longitude, which are stored as degrees, minutes, and seconds plus a N/S/E/W reference. Those are converted to signed decimal degrees.

Many images carry no location at all, for example screenshots, edited exports, or photos taken with location services off. In that case the tool simply reports that no GPS data was found. It never invents a location.

JPEG files, which is where cameras and phones normally embed GPS EXIF. PNG, WebP, and most edited or screenshotted images do not carry GPS, so they return no location.

Use the EXIF Remover tool to strip the metadata segments and download a clean copy, also entirely in your browser. The original file is left untouched.
