See what a photo reveals, remove private metadata, and share a verified clean copy without changing the image pixels. A photo can carry more than the picture: exact GPS coordinates, capture time, camera or device details, editing software, and other EXIF metadata. NoGPS turns those hidden fields into a clear check-clean-share decision. SEE WHAT LEAVES YOUR PHONE Choose a photo to review its embedded location and the main privacy details it contains. If exact GPS coordinates are present, NoGPS shows them clearly before you share the original file. CREATE A VERIFIED CLEAN COPY Remove GPS location with one tap, or use NoGPS Pro to remove identifying EXIF, TIFF, IPTC, camera, date, and software fields. NoGPS reads the output again to verify the requested data is gone. KEEP EVERY PIXEL NoGPS rewrites metadata without recompressing the photo. The clean copy keeps the same image pixels and quality, while your original remains untouched. CLEAN FROM THE SHARE SHEET In Photos or another app, tap Share and choose NoGPS. Check and clean the image, then continue sharing the clean copy without opening the main app first. CLEAN A WHOLE BATCH WITH PRO Select up to 20 photos, review which ones contain location, and clean the whole set in one pass. NoGPS Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Analysis and cleaning happen on your device. NoGPS has no account, no tracking SDK, and no photo uploads. Optional Apple Maps context stays off until you choose to enable it. Useful before: - Posting marketplace or property photos - Sharing family, school, or travel pictures - Sending original files through messages, email, or AirDrop - Publishing images while keeping private details out Check. Clean. Share the photo, not the private trail. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdfla/ Privacy Policy: https://nogps.reddash.app/privacy/
