Photo privacy guides
A photo carries more than the picture: the place it was taken, the device that took it, the exact time and sometimes the name of its owner. These guides explain what that information is, when it travels with the file and how to remove it.
Each one is written from how delexif actually reads and cleans images, so the examples match what you will see in the tool.
- What EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata reveal about your photos The hidden fields inside a photo file — location, device, time, authorship — and why they matter when you share it.
- How to remove location data from photos on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac Stop recording location, strip it when sharing, and clean photos you already took, on every major platform.
- Lossless or Redraw: two ways to strip metadata from an image Removing metadata blocks from a JPEG versus repainting the image from scratch: what each keeps, removes and cannot verify.
- When does photo metadata survive sharing? Email, cloud links, messaging apps and social networks: how to check the file a recipient actually receives.
