The three steps

  1. 01

    Add your photos

    Go to pixly.app/tools/remove-location-from-photo and drop one photo or many, or click Choose photos.

  2. 02

    See what each photo carries

    Each photo shows its hidden location, camera and date. Under What to remove, choose Everything, or Location only to keep the date and camera.

  3. 03

    Clean and download

    Click Clean photos. One photo downloads on its own, several as a zip. JPG, PNG and WebP keep exactly the same picture; iPhone HEIC photos are saved as JPG.

The Remove Photo Location steps in Pixly, with screenshots of each

When to remove the location

  • Before sharing photos of a home that is not on the market yet.
  • Before sending photos of your own home to anyone you do not know.
  • Before posting to forums and marketplaces that keep the hidden data.
  • Do the whole set at once — one photo with a location is enough to give the address away.

What to avoid

  • Assuming every site strips it: some keep the location when a photo is shared as a file.
  • Cleaning a copy and then sending the original by mistake.
  • Screenshots as a workaround — they lower the quality.
