EXIF Privacy Checklist

Removing metadata such as location, device model, and timestamp before sharing can be critical for privacy.

Checklist steps

Define sharing context: public social media or private team channel?
Check if image content reveals location or sensitive context.
Run EXIF cleanup, then reopen the file to verify metadata is removed.

For execution, use EXIF Cleaner.
