Why Remove Image Metadata?

Every photo contains hidden metadata that can reveal sensitive information about you and your activities.

Protect Your Location Privacy

Photos taken with smartphones often contain GPS coordinates showing exactly where the photo was taken, potentially revealing your home or work address.

Remove Personal Information

EXIF data can include your name, copyright info, camera serial number, and software used - information you may not want to share publicly.

Prevent Digital Fingerprinting

Camera serial numbers and unique identifiers can be used to track and link photos back to you across different platforms.

For professionals handling client photos, removing metadata helps comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
