Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
Exchangeable Image File Format — a block of metadata cameras and phones embed in a photo. It records the camera, lens, exposure settings, date, orientation and often the exact GPS location.
Can photos really reveal my location?
Yes, if location services were on when you took them. GPS coordinates in EXIF are accurate to a few metres. Most social platforms strip EXIF on upload, but files shared by email, messaging apps in "document" mode, or cloud links usually keep it.
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
Re-encode the image. Running it through our image compressor, resizer or converter produces a clean file with no EXIF, because the canvas only carries pixel data.
Why does my photo have no EXIF data?
Screenshots, PNG files, images edited by some apps and anything downloaded from a social network usually have none — it was either never written or stripped on upload.
