What is EXIF data?

Every photo your phone or camera takes embeds hidden metadata called EXIF data. This can include your exact GPS coordinates, the device you used, the time the photo was taken, and more. When you share photos online, this data goes with them.

What we remove

  • GPS coordinates - your exact location when the photo was taken
  • Camera/phone model - device manufacturer and model
  • Date and time - when the photo was taken
  • Software info - editing software used
  • Thumbnail data - embedded preview images
  • All other metadata - lens info, exposure settings, orientation

Privacy tip: Always remove EXIF data before sharing photos on forums, marketplaces, dating apps, or social media. Your GPS coordinates could reveal your home or workplace.
