Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata do photos contain?+

Photos typically contain: GPS coordinates (location), camera make/model, lens info, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, date/time taken, software used to edit, and sometimes your name or copyright info.

Can someone find my home from a photo?+

Yes. If you took the photo at home with GPS enabled, the embedded coordinates pinpoint your address. Anyone with basic tools can read this data.

Does removing metadata affect image quality?+

No. Metadata removal strips only the data headers. The actual image pixels are not modified or recompressed.

Do social media platforms remove metadata?+

Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter strip EXIF data on upload. However, email, forums, Craigslist, and many other platforms do not. Always strip metadata before sharing on unfamiliar platforms.

How do I check what metadata my photo has?+

On Windows: right-click, Properties, Details tab. On Mac: open in Preview, Tools > Show Inspector. Or drop it in fileGOD and the tool displays all metadata before stripping.
