    How it works

    1. Choose files

      Pick up to 50 photos or videos. TagWipe reads them in your browser and shows which tags each one carries.

    2. Tick what to remove

      AI tags, location, date and time, camera, or everything. Beside each box you see how many files have it.

    3. Download clean copies

      Every copy is read again and checked. The picture itself is not re-encoded, so quality stays exactly the same.

    Your photos can reveal where you live

    A phone camera stores the exact latitude and longitude of every shot — often accurate to a few meters — together with the date, time and phone model. Anyone who gets the original file can open it on a map. Messengers and some sites keep this data when you send a photo “as a file”, and marketplaces and forums often keep it too.

    TagWipe shows the location of each file before cleaning, so you can see what would have been shared.

    How to remove location from a photo

    1. Choose the photos or videos above. TagWipe counts how many of them carry a location.
    2. Tick Location. Add Date and time and Camera if you want, or All metadata to keep nothing but the picture.
    3. Press Clean and download the copies or share them straight to Photos on your phone.

    Only what you choose is removed

    TagWipe removes single EXIF tags in place, so the rest of the file stays intact: removing the location keeps the date your photo was taken, and your gallery still sorts it correctly. The image itself is never re-compressed. To check a file first, open the metadata checker.

    What each checkbox removes

    Supported formats

    JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF photos; MP4 and MOV videos. Photos up to 300 MB, videos of any size: a video is edited in place without being loaded into memory.

    What TagWipe does not remove

    Visible watermarks and invisible watermarks woven into the pixels themselves (for example Google SynthID) are not metadata, and no metadata tool can remove them. Platforms may also detect AI content in other ways.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I remove the location from a photo on iPhone?

    Open this page in Safari, choose the photos, tick “Location” and press Clean, then tap “Share or save to Photos”. The free TagWipe app does the same from the Share menu.

    How do I remove EXIF data on Android?

    Open this page in Chrome, choose photos from the gallery, tick what to remove and download the clean copies. Or use the free TagWipe app for Android.

    Does Telegram or WhatsApp remove location?

    When a photo is sent as a compressed picture, most messengers drop EXIF. When it is sent as a file or document, the original with its location is usually delivered. Clean it first to be sure.

    Can I remove location from videos?

    Yes. TagWipe removes location and other metadata from MP4 and MOV videos, including iPhone videos, without re-encoding them.

    Will the photo still have its date?

    Yes, unless you tick “Date and time”. Each checkbox removes only its own fields.
