How to send photos without giving away your location

Phone photos usually hide the exact GPS location they were taken at, plus the phone model and time. Remove those hidden details first, compress the photos so they’re quick to send, then put them in one ZIP.

Start step 1: Remove photo metadata

Each step passes your file to the next, so you only add it once. Nothing is uploaded.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Remove the hidden details

    FileFleet shows what each photo is hiding, such as its location, then removes it. JPG and PNG photos aren’t re-saved, so the pictures are untouched.

    Open Remove photo metadata
  2. 2

    Make them smallerIf needed

    Compressing makes the photos quicker to send without a visible difference.

    Open Compress image
  3. 3

    Put them in one ZIP

    One attachment instead of twenty, and nothing gets lost along the way.

Questions

Don’t apps like WhatsApp remove the location anyway?

Many social apps do, but email, cloud links, AirDrop and “send as document” often keep it. Removing it yourself means you don’t have to wonder.
