Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I strip EXIF metadata before posting photos online?
Smartphones automatically embed precise GPS latitude, longitude, and elevation into every photo. Sharing unscrubbed photos online can reveal your exact home, school, or workplace address to strangers and automated scrapers.
Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?
No. Metadata is stored in auxiliary header segments separate from the image raster pixels. Re-encoding the pure pixel buffer preserves visual sharpness while removing tracking tags.
