Information your camera or phone writes into the photo file: the camera and lens, the exposure settings, the date and time, and often the GPS position where it was taken.

Can people see where a photo was taken?

If the file carries GPS data, anyone who gets the original file can read the position. This viewer shows it as latitude and longitude, so you can check before you share.

How do I remove EXIF and GPS data from a photo?

Choose the photo, then Remove all metadata. You get a copy without EXIF, GPS, XMP or IPTC data. The copy is saved again, so it also drops the photo's own colour profile, with its colours saved as sRGB, and its quality changes slightly; keep your original.

Should I remove metadata before entering a photo contest?

Only if the contest asks you to. Some contests check capture details against your original file, so keep the original with its metadata and remove it only from copies you share.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The tool runs in your browser: the photo is read and changed on your device and is never sent to WinPhoto or anyone else.
