- Hit Remove EXIF.

The images look identical. The hidden data is gone.
Why this matters
Every photo your phone takes embeds metadata: GPS coordinates (often accurate to a few metres), the exact date and time, your phone model, camera settings, and sometimes your name. When you post a photo online, this data can go with it.
Most social platforms strip EXIF data on upload — but not all do. Email attachments don’t. Cloud sharing links often don’t. If you’re sharing photos of your home, your kids, or anywhere you’d rather not broadcast your exact location, stripping EXIF first takes two seconds and costs nothing.
Frequently asked questions
What EXIF data is in my photos? GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), altitude, date and time taken, camera make and model, lens info, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, software used for editing, colour profile, and sometimes your name.
Do social media platforms remove EXIF data? Most do — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok strip EXIF on upload. But not all services do. LinkedIn, some forums, email, cloud sharing links, and many websites preserve the original metadata.
Can someone find my home from a photo? If GPS data is embedded and not stripped, yes. The coordinates can be accurate to within a few metres. Photos taken at home over time establish a pattern.
Does removing EXIF data change the photo? No. The image itself is untouched. Only the invisible metadata is removed.
Can I batch remove EXIF data? Yes — drop multiple files in the browser. Desktop app handles entire folders.
