Remove the location from your iPhone photos

By default, an iPhone tags every photo with the precise GPS coordinates where you took it — accurate to roughly a meter, often with altitude and heading. You can stop it for future shots in Settings, but photos you've already taken still carry the pin, and turning it off doesn't clean the ones on your camera roll. MetaMarshal reads the location out of an iPhone photo — including HEIC files — shows it on a map, and strips it so you can share the picture without the place.

Processed on your device — nothing is uploaded unless you tap the optional AI estimate.
Nothing leaves your device to clean a photo — the only exception is the optional AI location estimate, which sends a downscaled copy off-device, and only after you tap to confirm.

How it works

1
Drop an iPhone photo above — HEIC and JPEG both work, and it's read entirely in your browser.
2
See the exact spot on a map, with the resolved address if you want it, so you know what you're removing.
3
Strip the location — remove just the GPS losslessly, or wipe every field.
4
Download the clean copy and share it without the map pin. To stop tagging future photos, turn off Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Camera.

It stops new photos from being tagged, but it doesn't touch the thousands already in your camera roll — those still carry their original GPS. To share an existing photo safely you have to strip its location, which is what this tool does.
