We Built a Free Tool to Strip EXIF and GPS From Your Photos — and an API for It

Most online EXIF removers upload your photo to their servers. SafeRestore's free in-browser metadata scrubber removes GPS coordinates, camera model, author info, and timestamps entirely client-side — your file never leaves your device. This post covers what EXIF data reveals, why it matters for privacy, and how the developer API works for bulk scrubbing.

  • GPS coordinates embedded in photos
