Protect Your Privacy: Remove EXIF Metadata from Photos

Introduction

Sharing photos online is fun, but it can also be a privacy risk. Most smartphones automatically embed GPS coordinates in every photo you take. If you upload these photos to a public site, anyone can see exactly where you live or work. TekToolHub's **Remove EXIF** tool scrubs this data clean.

The Danger of EXIF Data

• **Location Tracking:** GPS tags reveal your exact location.
• **Device Info:** Reveals what phone or camera you own.
• **Timestamps:** Shows exactly when you were at a location.

When to Remove EXIF

• **Social Media:** Before posting to Twitter, Reddit, or forums.
• **Marketplaces:** When selling items on Craigslist or eBay (to hide your home address).
• **Dating Apps:** To protect your privacy.

How to Clean Your Photos

1. **Upload:** Select the image you want to sanitize.
2. **Review:** The tool will show you what data is currently in the file.
3. **Clean:** Click "Remove EXIF" to strip all metadata.
4. **Download:** Save the clean version of your image.
