Every photo carries invisible data alongside the picture. Understanding and removing it is a simple privacy win.
Types of metadata
- EXIF — camera, date, and often GPS coordinates.
- IPTC / XMP — author, copyright, editing history.
- Content credentials (C2PA) — signed record of how an image was made, including AI.
How to remove it safely
Re-encode the image so only pixels remain. LabelClean does this entirely in your browser — your photo and its location never leave your device.
