Can someone really find my location from a photo?

If GPS EXIF is present, yes — coordinates are often precise to a few metres. Stripping removes them.

Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?

No — only hidden metadata is removed; the pixels are untouched.

Do social networks strip EXIF for me?

Major platforms strip most of it on display, but direct shares (email, chat attachments, marketplaces) often keep it. Strip before sharing to be safe.

What about metadata in PDFs?

PDFs have their own hidden properties — use Remove PDF Metadata for those.

Remove Image Metadata (EXIF)

Every phone photo carries invisible EXIF data: where it was taken (GPS), when, and with what device. Strip it before posting a photo publicly — the image looks identical, the data trail is gone. Free with fair daily limits.
