GPS Location Privacy Stripper
Wipe embedded GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and timestamp tracking tags with one click to protect home or personal location privacy before posting photos publicly.
Edit EXIF, IPTC, and XMP camera tags across up to 100 photos simultaneously. Inject copyright notices, assign 1-5 star ratings, or strip sensitive GPS location coordinates with zero server uploads. Free & unlimited.
Optimize your batch image EXIF editing workflow using native key bindings. All metadata commands execute strictly inside local browser memory.
The ImageVixo Metadata Manager is a browser-based photo header management and privacy protection studio designed for photographers, journalists, social media managers, and digital archivists. Supporting EXIF 2.31, IPTC Core, and XMP standards, Metadata Manager allows you to inject author attribution, copyright notices, camera profiles, and 1-5 star ratings, or strip sensitive GPS location coordinates and device serial numbers 100% locally inside your browser RAM before publishing photos online.
Wipe embedded GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and timestamp tracking tags with one click to protect home or personal location privacy before posting photos publicly.
View and edit camera metadata headers including Title, Subject, Author/Artist, Copyright, Camera Make, Model, Lens, Focal Length, Aperture, ISO, and Exposure.
Protect intellectual property by embedding legal copyright strings and assigning 1-to-5 star quality ratings to organize photography catalogs prior to export.
Automate structured file renaming using dynamic
variables ($DATE, $NAME, $WIDTH,
$HEIGHT, $NNN) to rename batch export files
seamlessly.
Modify metadata parameters or strip location tags across up to 100 images simultaneously. Download processed files individually or in a single ZIP package.
Binary stream EXIF header editing processes strictly inside browser RAM using WebAssembly. Your photos and confidential metadata never touch remote servers.
Review standard metadata tag categories, privacy impacts, and copyright protection benefits:
| Metadata Category | Included Header Tags | Privacy & Security Risk | Primary Application | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPS Geolocation | Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Time | High Privacy Risk | Reveals exact shooting coordinates & address | Strip GPS tags prior to web publishing |
| Copyright & Rights | Artist, Copyright Notice, Usage Terms | No Risk (Legal Shield) | Establishes image ownership & licensing rights | Inject author name & copyright notice |
| Camera & Optics | Camera Model, Lens, ISO, Aperture | Low Risk (Hardware Info) | Technical photography archival & cataloging | Retain for photography portfolios |
| Ratings & Tags | Star Rating (1–5), Subject, Title | No Risk (Internal Data) | DAM catalog organization & curation | Assign star ratings for photo sorting |
| Dynamic Tokens | $DATE, $NAME, $WIDTH, $HEIGHT | No Risk (Utility) | Automated structured batch renaming | Use tokens for clean file naming patterns |
Follow these four simple steps to modify image headers or strip location coordinates:
Drag & drop up to 100 images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, ICO, GIF, BMP, TIFF, JFIF, APNG, CUR) or select a local folder.
Select Smart Auto mode or adjust quality sliders, compression effort, target sizes (KB/MB), or output format conversions.
Crop to 32+ aspect ratios, pad canvas bounds, tune 25 tone sliders, apply 65+ filters, stamp watermarks, and build EXIF profiles.
Inspect magic-byte file signatures in the Validator panel, compare quality with the side-by-side slider, and download a ZIP package.
Common questions regarding EXIF editing, GPS privacy, and dynamic naming tokens:
EXIF metadata often embeds exact GPS latitude/longitude coordinates, camera serial numbers, and home timestamps into photo headers. Stripping EXIF data protects personal privacy and location security before posting on social media or public websites.
You can view and modify EXIF 2.31 headers, IPTC Core attributes, and XMP metadata profiles including title, artist/author, subject, copyright text, camera make/model, and star ratings (1 to 5 stars).
Dynamic tokens automatically insert live metadata into output file names. Tokens like $DATE, $NAME, $WIDTH, $HEIGHT, and $NNN generate automated structured file naming patterns across batch exports.
No. ImageVixo Metadata Manager processes 100% of your EXIF/XMP binary stream headers locally inside browser RAM using WebAssembly. Your photos and sensitive metadata never leave your local device.
