What is Image Metadata?
Image metadata, also known as EXIF data, is information embedded within image files that provides details about how, when, and where the photo was taken. This includes camera settings like ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and even the camera model used.
Why Remove Metadata from Images?
While metadata can be useful for photographers to track their settings, it can pose privacy risks when sharing images online. GPS coordinates can reveal your home address or frequented locations, timestamps can expose your schedule, and camera serial numbers can be tracked.
Our tool allows you to view all this information and strip it before sharing, protecting your privacy while maintaining image quality.
