EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded in image files by cameras and phones at the moment of capture. It records technical details about how the photo was taken, as well as device and location information. Common EXIF fields include:
Stripping metadata before sharing photos online is a common privacy practice. GPS coordinates embedded in a photo can reveal your home address, workplace, or frequented locations to anyone who downloads the image. Many social media platforms strip EXIF data automatically, but email attachments, forum uploads, and direct image shares often preserve it.
No â this tool uses the Canvas API to re-encode the image without any metadata. The visual content is identical. The file may be slightly different in size since metadata bytes are removed, but pixel quality is unchanged at the quality level you export.
Most do â Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter strip EXIF data on upload. However, platforms like Flickr and some forums preserve it. Email clients also preserve EXIF in attachments. If you're unsure, strip it yourself before sharing.
On iPhone, open the photo in the Photos app, swipe up to see the "Adjust Location" option and basic metadata. For full EXIF detail, use a dedicated app like Metapho. On Android, open a photo in Google Photos and tap the info (âšī¸) icon to see captured details including GPS.
