ExifOff: Remove Photo Location
Remove photo location and other EXIF metadata. See where a photo was taken on a map, check what it reveals, then share a clean copy.
Overview
ExifOff checks what a photo reveals and creates a clean copy for safer sharing. Pick a photo to see whether it contains location data (and where it was taken, on a map), along with basics like date taken, camera, image size, original file type, and file size - then create a new copy with the metadata removed before you post or send it. HEIC, PNG, and JPEG keep their original format; only the photo info is removed.
It is a single-purpose privacy tool, not a photo editor or a full EXIF browser: it shows only the fields that matter for a sharing decision, and it never edits or deletes your originals. Everything runs on your device with no account, no upload, and no tracking. It is free, with no ads and no subscription.
You can clean up to 50 photos at once, and even clean straight from the share sheet - share photos from Photos or another app to ExifOff and share the copies right away. It also works on iPad and in Shortcuts.

FAQ
Is ExifOff free?
Yes. The app is free with no ads and no subscription. App Store pricing can change, so check the listing for current details.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Metadata checking and cleaning run entirely on your device. There is no account, no upload, and no tracking.
Does it delete or change my original photos?
No. ExifOff always creates a new copy for saving or sharing. Your originals are never edited or deleted.
What metadata does it remove?
The new copy is created without the source photo's metadata, including location data. HEIC, PNG, and JPEG keep their original format. Before cleaning, the app shows whether location data was found (and where it was taken on a map) plus the date taken, camera, size, and file type.
Can I clean multiple photos at once?
Yes. You can clean up to 50 photos in one go, then save or share them together.
Can I use it without opening the app?
Yes. Share photos from Photos or another app to ExifOff via the share sheet and share the copies right away. It also works in Shortcuts.
Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing?
Photos can carry embedded location coordinates and other details about when and how they were taken. Stripping that metadata before posting or sending prevents strangers from learning where a photo was taken.
