▸ Technical Specifications & Verification FAQ↓
To permanently remove location data from a photo with zero privacy risk, LocatePic renders the raw image bitmap onto a clean HTML5 canvas in browser RAM and exports a brand-new byte stream—physically eliminating all APP1 EXIF, GPS, XMP, and MakerNote segments.
Does removing location from a photo on LocatePic upload my image anywhere?
No. Both the before-audit and the pixel re-encoding happen strictly inside your browser memory. You can even disconnect from the internet after loading the page and scrub your files offline.
Wait—if I remove EXIF GPS, can someone still locate my photo visually?
Yes! That is why LocatePic is unique: after scrubbing your EXIF metadata, you can run our Optical Triangulation check on the same screen to verify whether street signs, house numbers, or skylines in the background still give away your location.
Does this also remove XMP and IPTC metadata?
Yes. Re-encoding from raw canvas pixels creates a fresh image container with zero APP1 (EXIF/XMP) or APP13 (IPTC) headers.
