Step by step: Remove EXIF & Location from PNG Photos on Android
- 1
Open this page in Chrome (or any browser) on your Android phone or tablet.
- 2
Tap the box above. Android opens its file picker – use Images, Recent or Browse to find files from Gallery, Downloads or Google Drive.
- 3
Each photo shows the metadata found in it – location, date, device – and a clean copy is made straight away.
- 4
Tap Download. The file lands in your Download folder: open it from Files by Google, the Chrome downloads list, or Google Photos › Library › Download.
What gets removed
- GPS coordinates, date and time, camera or phone make and model, lens and exposure settings, editing software and any embedded thumbnail.
- JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without touching the image data, so they look exactly the same. HEIC photos are saved as a clean, high-quality JPG.
Tips for Android phone
- Most social networks strip metadata when you post, but email, AirDrop, cloud links and many chat apps send the original file with everything still in it.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing EXIF data reduce quality?
No. Only the hidden information is removed; the PNG image data isn't touched.
Can I clean several photos at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and download them all in one ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your photos never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Where does the converted file go on my Android phone?
Tap Download. The file lands in your Download folder: open it from Files by Google, the Chrome downloads list, or Google Photos › Library › Download.
