What a photo says about you

A photo taken with a phone carries far more than the image, in a block called EXIF: the exact GPS location where it was taken, the date and time to the second, the make and model of the device, its settings, and sometimes the serial number or the owner’s name.

Posting a photo of your living room posts your home address. Sending a photo of an item for sale tells people where to pick it up. This is neither theoretical nor rare: it’s the default on every phone with location turned on.

Most tools make you pay for this cleanup in quality

They run the image through a canvas: the metadata disappears, but the photo is recompressed. You trade your privacy for quality, and nobody tells you.

Here, your pixels aren’t touched. The metadata blocks are removed from the file and everything else is copied byte for byte. A 33,901-byte photo carrying 331 bytes of EXIF comes out at exactly 33,536 bytes, those of the file before, identical one by one.

What is kept, and why

The color profile is kept. It isn’t personal data; it’s the definition of your image’s colors: removing it would wash the image out or oversaturate it without warning. Many tools throw it away with the rest, and the image comes out dull.

Everything that talks about you goes: location, device, date, software, author, copyright, Photoshop blocks, comments, and the XMP block when there is one.

Three formats, three mechanisms

JPEG. The EXIF, XMP and Photoshop segments are removed; the rest is copied as is.

PNG. The text blocks, the modification date and the EXIF block are removed.

WebP. The EXIF and XMP blocks are removed, and the container header is recalculated so the file stays readable.

What this cleanup doesn’t do

It doesn’t change the image itself. A face, a license plate or a street name visible in the photo stays there: no metadata tool removes them.

It doesn’t change the file name. “IMG_20260814_apartment.jpg” still says something.

Note also that most major social networks remove EXIF when you post. Cleaning matters most for what you send directly: an email, a messaging app, a classified ad, a file share.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files sent anywhere? No. You can check for yourself in thirty seconds: here is how.

Is my photo recompressed? No, never. The metadata blocks are removed and every other byte is copied exactly: the image quality is strictly unchanged.

Is the GPS location really removed? Yes, along with the whole EXIF block. The list shown before cleaning tells you what your photo contained.

Will my photo’s colors change? No. The color profile is kept: it isn’t personal data but the definition of the colors, and removing it would wash the image out.

Is that enough to make a photo anonymous? No. What’s visible in the image stays there: a face, a plate, a shop sign. Cleaning deals with what’s hidden in the file, not with its content.
