Remove Photo Metadata

What Metadata Reveals

Photos contain hidden data that reveals:

  • • GPS location: Exact coordinates where photo was taken (home address, workplace)
  • • Date/time: When photo was captured
  • • Camera info: Device model, lens, settings
  • • Software: Editing apps used

Privacy Risks

  • Home address revealed in vacation photos
  • Stalkers can track your locations
  • Journalists/activists at risk

After Metadata Removal

  • No GPS data - location hidden
  • Timestamp removed
  • Just the image pixels remain
