A Better Picture: Quality In, Risk Out
Metadata should serve you — not expose you.
Removing EXIF doesn’t touch pixels. Your photo looks the same — only the hidden, potentially sensitive data changes. For JPEGs, we can often strip losslessly. For other formats, we re‑encode with the same visual quality target.
Keep What’s Useful
- Description for story context
- Keywords for people and events
- City/Country for broad location
