The steps: Strip GPS & EXIF Data from JPG Photos on Android
- 1
Open this page in Chrome (or another browser) on your Android phone or tablet.
- 2
Tap the box above. Android's file picker opens – look under Images, Recent or Browse to reach Gallery, Downloads or Google Drive.
- 3
Every photo lists the metadata it contains – location, date, device – and a clean copy is created immediately.
- 4
Tap Download. The file goes into your Download folder – find it in Files by Google, in Chrome's downloads list, or in Google Photos › Library › Download.
What's stripped out
- GPS coordinates, date and time, phone or camera make and model, lens and exposure settings, editing software and any embedded preview thumbnail.
- JPG, PNG and WebP files are cleaned without touching the picture itself, so they look identical. HEIC photos come back as a clean, high-quality JPG.
Android phone tips
- Most social networks remove metadata when you post, but email, AirDrop, cloud links and many messaging apps pass along the original file with everything intact.
Questions & answers
Does stripping EXIF data hurt the quality?
No. Only the hidden details go; the JPG picture data is left alone.
Can I clean a batch of photos?
Yes. Add as many as you like and save them all in a single ZIP.
Do my photos get sent anywhere?
No. Your browser does the conversion with your device's own processor, so your photos stay with you. Once the page has loaded you could even switch off your internet connection.
Where do I find the converted file on my Android phone?
Tap Download. The file goes into your Download folder – find it in Files by Google, in Chrome's downloads list, or in Google Photos › Library › Download.
