Why Remove EXIF Data?
Every photo you take contains hidden information called EXIF metadata. This can include sensitive data like GPS coordinates showing exactly where the photo was taken, the date and time, and details about your device.
When you share photos online, this metadata goes with them. Someone could potentially extract your home address from vacation photos or track your movements from a series of images.
By removing EXIF data before sharing, you protect your privacy while keeping the image quality intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos that includes camera settings, date/time, GPS location, device information, and more. This data can reveal personal information you may not want to share.
