Discover the risks hidden in EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags and how to remove them before publication.
A photo is a disguised database. Without you knowing it, your smartphone records critical information in every file.
**Geolocation**: GPS tags indicate the precise location where the photo was taken (latitude/longitude within 1 meter). Posting a photo of your home on a sales platform without cleaning this data is like giving your exact address to strangers.
**Hardware Footprint**: Your phone model, software version, and even the unique device ID are stored.
**The Privacy Purge Solution**: Our tool scans and 'shreds' these data blocks. Unlike simple tools that just empty fields, we rewrite the file header to guarantee no recovery is possible. This is the essential step for any sharing on social networks or anonymous forums.
