Photo privacy guide

Selling on Vinted, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace? Check your photos first

Before posting listing photos, consider both the image metadata and what can be seen in the picture. Some camera files may contain GPS coordinates, capture time, device information, or editing details. Platform processing can vary, so do not rely on a marketplace to remove every field for you.

Remove embedded location data before you list

Use the browser-based tool to create a clean copy of a supported JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. Its image-processing code runs locally and does not send the photo to an image-processing service. Keep your original, then upload the cleaned copy to your listing.

Review the visible photo too

Metadata removal cannot hide details in the pixels. Before posting, check for house numbers, street signs, documents, shipping labels, reflections, faces, screens, or distinctive views that could identify your home or routine. Crop or edit visible details separately if needed; this tool does not blur or edit them.

Keep serial numbers, IMEI numbers, receipts, and personal contact details out of public listing photos unless you specifically intend to show them. Also check the listing’s location field and the marketplace’s own privacy options—those are separate from photo metadata.

HEIC photos and quality

This tool does not currently support HEIC / HEIF photos, which are common on iPhones. JPEG and WebP files are re-encoded and may lose some image quality; PNG output is lossless. The original photo remains unchanged.
