Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data in photos?▶
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and phones. It includes camera model, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, date/time taken, and sometimes GPS coordinates showing exactly where the photo was taken.
Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing photos?▶
EXIF data can contain sensitive information like GPS coordinates that reveal where you live or work. Camera serial numbers and software versions can also be used to identify you. Removing metadata before sharing online protects your privacy and security.
How does the EXIF remover work without losing quality?▶
The tool redraws your image on an HTML5 Canvas element at full resolution, then exports it as a new file. This process creates a pixel-identical image but without any embedded metadata. JPEG images are exported at 95% quality to minimize any compression artifacts.
