INITIALISATION DU SYSTÈME...
Your Vinted photos can reveal your home address via GPS data. Remove EXIF metadata for free in 2 minutes, 100% in your browser.

This is not science fiction. It's a technical reality that most sellers ignore — and that some malicious buyers are already exploiting.
In this guide, we explain concretely where this risk comes from, why it concerns you if you sell on Vinted, Leboncoin or eBay, and above all how to protect yourself in seconds.
When you take a photo with your smartphone, the device doesn't just capture the image. It automatically records dozens of technical information called EXIF data (Exchangeable Image File Format). Among them:

This scenario is not hypothetical. Cases of burglary, theft, and stalking have already been documented. Vinted security passes through your vigilance.
Photograph your items as usual. Don't change anything to your habits.
Drag your images to GhostMeta.online. All metadata is neutralized locally.
Publish with complete serenity on Vinted, Leboncoin or eBay. Your data stays with you.
Unlike Cloud apps that harvest your data, GhostMeta is designed for absolute anonymity:
