Tool
Photo Scrub — see and strip the GPS data in photos
$5 one-time
People posting photos taken at home — second-hand marketplace sellers, hosts listing a room, anyone attaching a photo to an application.
Phone photos record the exact coordinates where they were taken. One listing photo publishes where you live, and most people have never been told.
Screenshotting the photo, or trusting that the platform strips metadata — which some do and some do not, with no way to tell.
It shows the coordinates before removing them, so the risk becomes visible rather than theoretical — then strips and resizes in one pass.
The moment of alarm passes quickly. Someone shocked by seeing their coordinates may strip that one photo and never think about it again.
