What is photo metadata?

๐Ÿ“ Location

Phones write GPS coordinates into every photo by default. Posting the original file can reveal your home.

๐Ÿชช Identity

Serial numbers and unique IDs can link photos taken by the same device, even across accounts.

๐Ÿ•’ Time

Capture times down to the sub-second, often with your time zone offset.

๐Ÿ‘ป Hidden data

Thumbnails, depth maps and bytes after the image end can hold content you thought you removed.

๐ŸŽฌ Videos

Phone videos store GPS, the phone model and the exact recording time, just like photos.

๐Ÿ“„ Documents

Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files carry author names, your company, comment authors, editing time and even photos with GPS.

Cleaning is lossless: metadata is cut out or blanked in place, and pictures, video and document content are never re-compressed. Many social sites strip metadata on upload, but email, cloud links, messaging "send as file" and forums often don't.
