How it works
What it finds
Open a file and the tool lists what it carries: GPS position and time, camera and lens with serial numbers, owner name, capture and edit dates, software, author, copyright, comments, embedded thumbnails, vendor MakerNote data, IPTC, XMP, the colour profile and Content Credentials (C2PA). A PDF shows its title, author, creator, producer and dates.
A location is shown with a link to OpenStreetMap, so you can see how precisely a photo gives away where it was taken.
Stripping
Download removes those blocks and shows a before and after table: each block is marked Found, then Removed or Still there. Image data is not touched where the format allows removing blocks directly.
Keep colour profile leaves the ICC profile in place so colours stay true; it holds nothing about you. Stripping also removes C2PA, so signed edit history is lost.
