What's hiding in your photos
| Metadata | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| GPS coordinates | Where the photo was taken — often your home |
| Timestamp | Exactly when you were there |
| Device & lens info | Your phone model and settings |
| Edit history tags | Software used, sometimes original dates |
Big platforms (Instagram, X) strip this on upload — but email, many marketplaces, Discord, cloud links and most forums don't. Anyone who can download the file can read it.
FAQ
Does the image quality change?
The photo is re-encoded once at very high quality — visually identical, guaranteed metadata-free (the photo's rotation is baked in first, so it still displays the right way up).
Why is doing this locally a big deal?
Because the usual "EXIF remover" sites make you upload the photo — with its location data — to their server first. That's the exact thing you were trying to avoid. Here it never leaves your device.
