Remove GPS Location From a Photo
Many phone cameras embed the exact GPS coordinates where a photo was taken in its EXIF data. This removes just that — no camera settings or other metadata are touched — so you can share the photo without also sharing your location.

What GPS metadata actually reveals
A photo's EXIF GPS tags store latitude and longitude precise enough to identify a specific building or room, not just a general area. Sharing a photo publicly (social media, marketplace listings, forums) with this intact can reveal your home address or other locations you'd rather not disclose.
Why remove GPS specifically, not all metadata
Stripping everything also removes camera model, settings, and any caption/copyright info you may want to keep — useful for photographers, less so if you're just trying to protect your location. This preset removes only the GPS coordinates, leaving everything else intact.
Which photos have GPS data
Most modern smartphone photos have it by default (unless location services were disabled for the camera app at the time). DSLR/mirrorless photos usually don't, unless the camera has GPS built in or paired to a phone. Use FileBench's Privacy Check to see exactly what metadata a specific file contains before deciding what to remove.
Does this remove all metadata, or just GPS?
Just GPS location data. Camera model, exposure settings, and any other EXIF fields are left untouched. Use Edit Image Metadata directly if you want more control over what's kept or removed.
How do I know if my photo has GPS data before removing it?
Run it through FileBench's Privacy Check first — it lists exactly what metadata (including GPS, if present) a file contains.
