Why Remove EXIF Data from Photos?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data contains hidden metadata that most cameras and smartphones automatically embed in every photo. This can include:

  • GPS coordinates revealing exactly where the photo was taken
  • Camera model and technical settings (aperture, shutter speed, etc.)
  • Date and time the photo was captured
  • Software information if the image was edited
  • Thumbnail previews that might show cropped content

When sharing photos online, this metadata can compromise your privacy and security. Our free tool helps you maintain control over your personal information.
