What is Image Metadata?
Image metadata is additional information stored within image files that describes how, when, and where the photo was taken. This includes camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and technical specifications.
Privacy Concerns
Metadata can reveal sensitive information like your exact location, the device used, and when photos were taken. Removing metadata before sharing images online is important for privacy protection.
Types of Metadata
Common metadata includes EXIF data (camera settings), GPS coordinates, timestamps, color profiles, image dimensions, and software information used to edit the photo.
