Complete EXIF Metadata Guide

What is EXIF?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically saved by digital cameras or smartphones when taking photos. It includes information such as camera model, shooting settings, date/time, and GPS location.

Importance of Privacy Protection

Photos with GPS information uploaded online can expose your home address or frequently visited places. Always check and remove EXIF information before uploading photos to SNS or marketplace sites. Information to be particularly careful about: • GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) • Shooting date/time • Camera serial number

How to Read EXIF Data

**Camera Information** • Make: Manufacturer (e.g., Apple, Samsung, Canon) • Model: Model name (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro, Galaxy S23) • LensModel: Lens information **Shooting Settings** • ISO: Sensitivity (lower = less noise) • FNumber: Aperture value (smaller = more background blur) • ExposureTime: Shutter speed • FocalLength: Focal length **GPS Information** • latitude/longitude: Coordinate values • GPSAltitude: Altitude

How to Remove EXIF

1. Upload a photo to view EXIF data 2. Check if there is GPS location information (yellow warning) 3. Click the 'Remove EXIF & Download' button 4. The photo with metadata removed will be automatically downloaded Note: Photos with EXIF removed maintain the same quality as the original, but metadata cannot be recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do all photos have EXIF data?

No. Photos taken with digital cameras or smartphones usually contain EXIF data, but photos saved with editing programs or uploaded to SNS may have EXIF automatically removed. Additionally, screenshots or images created with graphics programs don't have EXIF.

Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?

No. This tool preserves the image data and only removes metadata, so there's no quality loss. However, when downloading, it's saved as JPEG format and encoded at 95% quality.

How is GPS information generated?

If your smartphone's location services are enabled, GPS coordinates are automatically saved in EXIF when taking photos. On iPhone, you can disable location info saving in Camera app settings; on Android, in system settings.

Can I recover a photo with EXIF removed?

No. Once EXIF is removed, it cannot be recovered. We recommend keeping the original file separately rather than deleting it.

What image formats are supported?

Most image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC are supported. However, RAW formats (.CR2, .NEF, etc.) are not supported as they cannot be processed directly in the browser.
