## Frequently asked questions
### How do I remove the location from a photo?

Drop the photo into this page and click Download without metadata. The copy has the GPS coordinates and other EXIF data removed, without recompressing the image.

### Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and rewritten in your browser with JavaScript, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.

### Does removing EXIF data reduce quality?

No. The image data is copied unchanged; only the metadata blocks are left out. The file usually gets slightly smaller.

### Do Instagram and Facebook remove photo location?

The big social networks generally strip EXIF data from images they display. Files sent by email, as documents in messaging apps, or through cloud links usually keep it.

### Why did my cleaned photo turn sideways?

Many phones store the rotation as metadata. Keep the 'Keep the rotation setting' box ticked and the cleaned photo will display the right way up.

### Can I clean several photos at once?

Yes. Drop as many as you like, then use Download all without metadata to get them in one zip file.
