Questions people ask
What is EXIF?
Details your phone or camera saves inside a photo, such as where and when it was taken and which camera took it. Anyone you send the original file to can read them.
Does this make the photo worse?
No. Only the hidden details are removed. The picture data is copied exactly, so quality and size stay the same apart from the removed details.
Do WhatsApp and Instagram remove location already?
Most social apps strip it when they compress your photo, but sending as a document or file, or by email, usually keeps it. Cleaning first is the safe choice.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser on this device. Your photos are never sent anywhere.
