EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in photos. It can include camera model, lens, aperture/shutter/ISO, date, and - most importantly for privacy - GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.

Why should I remove EXIF before sharing?

Photos from phones often include precise GPS coordinates. Sharing them on social media or forums can reveal your home address, workplace, or travel patterns without you realizing.

Does the remove function also strip orientation?

Yes. Re-encoding via canvas bakes in the current orientation and strips all metadata including rotation, GPS, and camera info.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Reading EXIF and removing it both happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
