Photo Metadata Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how stripping EXIF tags prevents geolocation tracking and protects your privacy.
What hidden metadata is stored inside my smartphone photos?
Photos taken with iPhones, Android devices, and digital cameras embed hidden EXIF data including exact GPS location coordinates (home address, workplace), camera model, serial number, date and time, lens aperture, and software versions.
How does this tool sanitize photos before posting on social media?
When you load a photo, our tool reconstructs the raw pixels onto a clean HTML5 canvas and re-encodes a pristine JPEG or PNG file. Every EXIF tag, GPS tag, IPTC caption, and camera fingerprint is completely stripped.
Does stripping EXIF metadata reduce picture quality?
No. The image raster is re-encoded at maximum 95% photographic fidelity, preserving pristine colors and fine details while shedding hundreds of kilobytes of hidden tracking data.
