## Why you should check photo metadata before sharing

### GPS coordinates reveal where you took the photo

Most smartphones embed precise latitude and longitude in every photo. Sharing an image online can inadvertently reveal your home address, workplace, or travel patterns to anyone who inspects the EXIF data.

### Camera and device fingerprinting

EXIF stores your camera model, lens, serial number, and software version. Combined, these fields can uniquely identify your device across multiple uploads — even on different platforms.

### Timestamps can be sensitive

The exact date and time a photo was taken is embedded in the file. For journalists, activists, or anyone concerned about operational security, stripping this data is essential.

### Why client-side stripping matters

Uploading a photo to a server-based metadata stripper defeats the purpose — that server now has your unstripped photo with all its metadata. This tool reads and rewrites the file entirely in your browser, so the sensitive data never travels over a network.
