# Scrubbing GPS Location Coordinates and PDF Author Properties in the Browser

Photos captured on smartphones and PDFs exported from office suites routinely carry sensitive geolocation coordinates, author names, and internal server paths. Using [precise EXIF GPS coordinate and altitude removal](https://aimetadatacleaner.pro/remove-gps) together with [lossless PDF `/Info` dictionary and XMP metadata cleaning](https://aimetadatacleaner.pro/clean-pdf-metadata) eliminates hidden leaks before files are shared publicly.

## Preventing Accidental Telemetry Leaks

### Exact Geolocation in Field & Personal Photos
Smartphone EXIF headers record latitude, longitude, altitude, compass direction, and UTC timestamps down to the second.

### Hidden Author & Software Trails in PDFs
- PDF documents store creator names, software versions, and edit timestamps in both the `/Info` dictionary and embedded XMP streams.
- Local browser scrubbing strips these fields cleanly without altering page typography, vector graphics, or layout.

## 3-Step Anonymization Guide

1. Load your photos or PDF documents into the local browser cleaner.
2. Review the highlighted GPS tags and document property fields.
3. Download the sanitized files locally with zero server uploads.
