What metadata is stored in my images?

Common metadata includes camera make/model, lens info, shutter speed, ISO, GPS coordinates, date/time, software used, copyright info, and sometimes even your name or device serial number.

Does stripping metadata affect image quality?

No. Metadata is stored in file headers separate from the actual image data. Removing it does not change any pixels or reduce visual quality.

Why should I strip metadata before sharing photos?

Metadata can reveal your location, the device you used, and when the photo was taken. Stripping it protects your privacy and prevents potential security risks when sharing images online.
