What is the deal with metadata in photos?
Those harmless, invisible details that are part of every photo can reveal more than we would like. Date, GPS location, camera settings and thumbnails.
Those harmless, invisible details that are part of every photo can reveal more than we would like.
What kind of information can it be?
- Date and time: shows when the photo was taken.
- GPS location: shows where the photo was taken.
- Camera settings: tells you which device the photo was taken with.
- Thumbnails: created automatically by some cameras, they can give away enough detail even after you edit the original photo.
- Each of these points carries its own risks and benefits. That is why it is worth being aware of what exactly we share when we publish photos online. ✌️
What do I use?
Scrambled Exif - the app strips all data from photos. Thanks to that I can share my memories without worrying about privacy.
