Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
Strip GPS before posting a home photo
Phone photos often store GPSLatitude/GPSLongitude. Open the image, confirm the location fields, then download the stripped JPEG. The pixels stay; the coordinates and often camera serial/software tags are gone. Always check the downloaded file once — do not assume a social network strips EXIF for you.
When to use EXIF Metadata Viewer
Photos often hide camera settings and GPS. Viewing EXIF helps with photography workflows; stripping it before sharing protects location privacy.
Common use cases
- Check shutter speed and ISO on a practice shoot.
- Remove GPS before posting travel photos publicly.
- Verify capture dates when sorting an archive.
- Confirm whether a download still contains camera metadata.
Inputs and outputs
- Input: JPEG and other formats with readable EXIF where supported
