Everything you need to know about EXIF metadata removal
Why remove EXIF metadata from your photos?
EXIF metadata embedded in your photos contains sensitive information such as your GPS location, camera model, and shooting date, which can compromise your privacy.
Sharing images with their metadata on social media or via email can reveal your exact location and habits to strangers.
Removing EXIF data also reduces your image file size, which speeds up your web page loading times and optimizes your bandwidth.
