Metadata Privacy: How to Strip Hidden GPS Location & Camera Data
What Hidden Data is Stored Inside Your Photos?
When you take a photograph with an iPhone or Android camera, hidden EXIF metadata tags are embedded into the image header. This includes exact GPS latitude and longitude, camera model, lens focal length, timestamp, and device serial numbers.
Real-World Security Risks of EXIF Location Tags
Posting raw smartphone photos to online marketplaces, forums, or blogs exposes your home or workplace coordinates to anyone who downloads the file.
How DexImage Strips EXIF Data 100% Privately
By re-rendering visual bitmap pixels onto a fresh HTML5 Canvas instance in local browser memory, DexImage creates clean file binaries stripped of all legacy EXIF, IPTC, and location headers.
