What is EXIF, and why is it risky?
EXIF is hidden data embedded in a photo at the moment it's taken, and it can include the exact GPS coordinates of where you shot it. If you post a photo taken at home online without removing the EXIF data, someone else could read that metadata and figure out your address. It's a privacy risk many people overlook.
When should you remove EXIF data?
Remove it before posting personal photos to Facebook, Instagram, forums, or classified ads (selling items, renting out a home). You should also strip it before sending photos to strangers. Note that some social networks strip EXIF data automatically on upload, but many platforms and direct file-sharing methods don't - so it's best to remove it yourself to be sure.
Frequently asked questions
Why should you remove EXIF data before posting a photo?
Photos taken on a phone often embed the GPS coordinates of where they were shot; removing EXIF data keeps you from accidentally revealing your home or work address.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
No. Only the metadata is removed - the image itself keeps its original quality.
Is the image processed on my own device?
Yes. All processing happens right in your browser, so your data is never sent to any server.
