Tips for best results
- GPS coordinates in EXIF reveal exactly where a photo was taken — with house-level precision. Always check before posting publicly.
- Compare metadata between two photos to verify they were taken with the same camera at the same time — useful for authenticity checks.
- Photos from messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram) usually have stripped metadata. Photos directly from your camera roll usually do not.
- Some metadata can include the photographer’s name, copyright, and even GPS altitude — important for journalism, real estate, and legal documents.
- Most social platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) strip metadata automatically. But before posting elsewhere, double-check.
