On-device by default — runs entirely in your browser
Remove metadata before you send photos on WhatsApp
On a normal send, WhatsApp recompresses your photo and drops most of its EXIF — including GPS. But choose 'Document' or 'File' to keep full quality, and the original goes through byte-for-byte, metadata and all. That's exactly the option people pick for photos that matter. Cleaning the file yourself before sending means it's safe whichever way it travels — and however it gets forwarded afterwards.

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 the photo above — it's read entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
2
See what the file would carry if sent as a document: GPS coordinates, capture time, device model, sometimes a serial number.
3
Strip the fields you don't want travelling — remove just the location losslessly, or wipe everything.
4
Download the clean copy and send it on WhatsApp any way you like, photo or document.
On a standard photo send, yes — the recompression that shrinks the file also drops most metadata, including GPS. But 'send as document/file', the option that preserves quality, sends the original untouched with every field intact.
