EXIF remover — see the fields before you delete them

Most people are surprised by two or three of these. Read them first; remove them second.

What EXIF holds

The ones everybody expects, and the ones they do not

  • Expected

    • Camera make and model
    • Date and time of the shot
    • GPS coordinates, when location was on
    • Exposure, aperture, focal length
  • Unexpected

    • Serial numbers of the body and often the lens — identical across every photo you have posted
    • Shutter count, which orders your photographs in time even without timestamps
    • Timezone offset, which narrows down where you were with no GPS at all
    • How the fix was obtained — satellite, cell tower or Wi-Fi — and which way the camera pointed
    • Air pressure on some phones, which is a floor of a building
    • The owner name stored in the camera's firmware

When we read the Exif standard in August 2026, every field above was defined by it and written by cameras without being asked for.
