What does EXIF data reveal about me?

Commonly the camera make and model, the exact capture date and time, exposure settings, editing software, and GPS latitude and longitude. Posted publicly, GPS tags can expose your home or workplace.

How does stripping work?

The image is decoded to raw pixels and re-encoded on a canvas. Only pixel data is written, so EXIF, GPS, XMP, and comment blocks are all dropped.

Do social networks already strip metadata?

Most large platforms strip EXIF on upload, but files you email, message, or host yourself keep everything. Strip before sharing rather than trusting the platform.

Why did no metadata show for my PNG?

PNG and WebP rarely carry EXIF. Phone and camera JPEGs carry the most. Downloading the clean copy still removes any embedded profiles and comments.

Remove EXIF Data from Photos

Phone photos carry hidden metadata: camera model, the exact date and time, editing software, and often GPS coordinates precise to a few metres. This tool reads the EXIF block, shows you every field it finds, flags the ones that expose where and when the photo was taken, and exports a clean copy rebuilt from raw pixels so no metadata survives. Nothing is uploaded — which matters more here than on any other tool.
