You can perform searches or learn more about the way the photos were captured, based on this information. While if you want to strip or modify these data to protect your work, AnyEXIF will help you do that.

Edit Photo GPS Location

Photos or images may embed your GPS location information if you captured a photo with a GPS-enabled camera or your smartphone. If you share this photo, your personal information may also be exposed.

Editing GPS information is a little bit different from other EXIF data editing. You need to enter the name of a specific country or region to initiate a search. AnyEXIF will then automatically locate the place of your choice. Once you set a new place, click Ok to modify the previous GPS info.

Tips:

• If you need to locate a specific city or a smaller place, just drag the red marker on the map.
• You can also use “+” or “-” button to zoom in or zoom out the map for your selection convenience.

Customize Your Photo Metadata Editing

In addition to these general edits above, you can customize the photo metadata editing in the More Settings box.

There is an option that may help you when editing and rewriting the EXIF metadata.

• Modify and keep the others: If you choose this one, AnyEXIF will rewrite the tags that you have modified or added while keeping the rest tags (you haven’t modified).

• Modify and clean the others: If this option is checked, AnyEXIF will not only rewrite modified or added tags, but will also clear all remaining tags. We recommend that you do not check this option when editing photo metadata!
