How to Remove the Location from a Photo on Mac
With Supercharge
- Open the settings of Supercharge, click “Tweaks”, and click “Configure…” next to “Context menu items”.
- In the “Main Menu” tab, turn on “Remove Image Location Metadata”. To remove all metadata, like the camera, the date, and the location, also turn on “Remove All Image Metadata”.
- Select the photos in Finder, right-click, and choose “Remove Location Metadata” or “Remove All Metadata”.
The items only show for JPEG, HEIC, PNG, and TIFF images that have the metadata. Supercharge puts a copy of each original image in the Trash, so you can get it back. “Remove All Metadata” keeps the orientation, so the photo does not turn.
The right-click items cannot show in synced folders, like iCloud Drive and Dropbox. Move the photos to another folder first.

Without an app
- Open the photo in Preview.
- Choose “Tools › Show Location Info”. If the item is gray, the photo has no location.
- Click “Remove Location Info”, and save the photo.
Preview removes the location from one photo at a time. In the Photos app, you can hide the location of photos: select them, and choose “Image › Location › Hide Location”. Supercharge is faster for many photos, and also removes the other metadata.
