Do photos really carry a location?

Phone cameras record the coordinates of where the shot was taken by default. That is how a single photo posted to a marketplace or social media can reveal where someone lives. This tool shows you what is in there first — “it has been removed” is hard to trust on its own.

Does the quality drop?

No. The photo is not redrawn; only the metadata block inside the file is cut out. Not one byte of the image data changes. Redrawing through a canvas would strip the data but shave the quality once more.

Where does the photo get uploaded?

Nowhere. Uploading a photo to an unfamiliar server in order to remove its location data would defeat the purpose.

JPG only. PNG files rarely carry capture location.

Will the photo end up rotated?

The orientation flag is removed along with the rest, so some programs may show it turned. If that happens, rotate it in the image editor and save.
