Remove GPS and location data from photos on Mac
Photos quietly embed the exact spot they were taken. Strip that out before you post, publish or hand them over.
Most cameras and phones write precise GPS coordinates into every photo. Before sharing images publicly, sending them to a client, or meeting a privacy or GDPR obligation, you want that location data gone, without degrading the photo or hunting through files one by one.
Do it in MetaScope
- 01
Add the photos to MetaScope
Drop in the files or folders you are about to share. MetaScope shows you exactly which images carry GPS coordinates.
- 02
Apply a redaction template
Use a built-in redaction template to clear GPS and location fields, across the whole batch in one action rather than file by file.
- 03
Write the change
The coordinates are removed and the image itself is untouched, so quality is identical to the original.
MetaScope ships batch redaction templates for location and GDPR cleanup, so you can strip GPS from a whole shoot at once. For a quick one-off check with nothing to install, the free online viewer strips GPS in your browser.
