Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It includes camera settings, date/time, GPS location, and more.
Can people see my location from a photo?
Yes, if GPS metadata is present. Many cameras and phones embed precise GPS coordinates. Anyone can extract this data using free tools.
Does removing metadata affect image quality?
No. Metadata is stored separately from pixel data. Removing it doesn't change the visual quality of the image at all.
