Sony Alpha GPS Tag Remover
Sony Alpha cameras and the Imaging Edge mobile app write GPS coordinates into photos. Remove the location block so a shared image cannot reveal where it was taken.

How It Works
- 1
Drop a Sony photo exported as JPEG, PNG or WebP.
- 2
The parser decodes the GPS IFD and any location fields in the Sony MakerNote.
- 3
GPS is pre-selected so only the location data is removed.
- 4
Clean and download a copy with no coordinates left in the file.
Binary Format Breakdown
| Segment | Carries | Action |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG APP1 (EXIF GPS IFD) | Latitude, longitude, altitude, GPS timestamp | GPS tags removed while other EXIF tags are kept |
| JPEG APP1 (MakerNote) | Sony location and lens fields | Location fields removed when GPS is selected |
| PNG eXIf | The same GPS tags in a PNG chunk | Rewritten in place to drop GPS tags |
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Sony camera get GPS data?
Most Alpha bodies have no built-in GPS; they receive coordinates from the Imaging Edge mobile app over Bluetooth and write them into the EXIF block.
Will removing GPS affect other tags?
No. This route selects only GPS, so camera settings and timestamps are preserved.
Can I confirm the coordinates before cleaning?
Yes. The inspector shows the raw GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude and GPSAltitude values so you can verify what is embedded.
