Remove stored GPS tags with the surrounding EXIF
A camera or phone can save GPS coordinates in EXIF. Transfa removes the supported EXIF container and, if necessary, writes back only a minimal orientation tag. That means stored location tags in that removed EXIF are not copied to the new photo.
The report identifies containers, not individual GPS fields. It won’t show your location on a map or certify that a file had coordinates to begin with. XMP and other supported removable containers are cleaned in the same pass.
Why the report may still mention EXIF
Some phones store orientation separately from the compressed pixels. Removing that information outright could turn a portrait sideways. When needed, Transfa keeps a newly built, minimal orientation tag. The original GPS and other EXIF fields are not included in that replacement.
Your picture can still reveal where you were
A street sign, landmark or visible address remains in the image. A social app can also add location based on your post settings. File cleanup does not alter visible content or platform settings. Use batch cleanup for a group of photos, and keep originals if you need their dates or credits later.
Before you save
Does the report tell me the photo’s GPS coordinates?
No. Transfa reports supported containers such as EXIF, not individual location values or a map. It removes supported stored information without displaying the coordinates.
Does this remove only GPS?
No. It cleans supported metadata containers, which can also remove dates, camera details, captions, credits and editing history. Keep the original.
