What is EXIF Data?
TL;DR: EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata embedded in photos by cameras and smartphones. It includes camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, GPS location, date/time, and more.
EXIF data is useful for organizing photos and learning photography techniques, but it can be a privacy concern — it may reveal your exact GPS location, device information, and photography habits. Remove EXIF data before sharing photos publicly.
