FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which formats are supported?
JPG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP, PNG, and AVIF files are supported.
Why is location information shown?
GPS tags may be included when location access was enabled while taking the photo.
What does clean JPEG do?
It removes EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and comment blocks from JPEG files.
Is it safe to share photos with EXIF data attached?
EXIF data itself isn't dangerous, the risk depends on what's attached and who can see it. GPS coordinates in particular can reveal your home or frequently visited places.
Do Instagram and WhatsApp remove EXIF data automatically?
Instagram strips GPS and camera data from public posts, but not reliably from DMs. WhatsApp's photo mode removes most metadata, but sending a file as a document preserves all of it. The safest approach is cleaning it yourself before sharing.
What can EXIF data reveal about me?
GPS location shows where a photo was taken, the timestamp shows when, and the camera/device model shows what you used. Combined, these can reveal real patterns, especially for people who post regularly on social media.
