About PhotoSoap
PhotoSoap is a free tool for removing the hidden information stored in photos — location, dates, camera details — before you share them.
Why it exists
Most people don't know their photos carry the GPS coordinates of where they were taken. Many "metadata remover" websites fix this by asking you to upload the photo to their server, which means trusting a stranger with the very file you're trying to protect. PhotoSoap does the job without that trade-off.
How it works
- In your browser. The photo is read and cleaned by code running on your own device. It's never uploaded, and it's gone when you close the tab.
- Lossless. Instead of re-saving the image (which reduces quality), PhotoSoap cuts the metadata sections out of the file and leaves the picture data untouched.
- Transparent. It shows you what it found — such as the exact coordinates — so you can see what you would have shared.
PhotoSoap supports JPEG, PNG and WebP. On iPhone, photos chosen in Safari are passed to the page as JPEGs.
How it's funded
PhotoSoap is free and supported by a small number of ads. PhotoSoap never sends your photos anywhere — not to us, and not to advertisers. See the privacy policy for details.
