Frequently asked questions
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF is hidden information stored inside photos: the camera or phone model, date and time, settings, and often the exact GPS location where the photo was taken.
Why remove GPS location from photos?
If you post or send a photo with GPS data, anyone who downloads the original file can see where it was taken — for example your home address. Removing it protects your privacy.
Does removing metadata reduce quality?
For most JPG and PNG files the image data is not touched at all — only the metadata blocks are removed, so quality is identical. Rotated JPGs and other formats are re-saved at high quality so they still display the right way up.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The metadata is removed in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
Do social networks remove location data?
Many large networks strip it on upload, but email, messaging apps that send “original quality” files, cloud links and many websites do not. Cleaning photos yourself is the safe option.
