FAQ
What data can be hidden in my photos?+
Photos taken with smartphones contain EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates (your exact location), camera model, serial number, date/time, and software used. Anyone who downloads your photo can extract this data.
Can buyers really find my home address from listing photos?+
Yes. If you photograph items at home and upload to eBay, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace without stripping metadata, your GPS coordinates may be embedded. A buyer can extract your exact address in seconds.
Which platforms strip EXIF data automatically?+
Instagram and Twitter strip most metadata. But eBay, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, and Etsy do NOT consistently strip GPS data. Always remove metadata before uploading to any marketplace.
Is this scanner safe to use?+
Yes. Your photo never leaves your device. All analysis happens in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
How do I remove the metadata?+
Use our free EXIF Remover tool. It strips all metadata including GPS, camera info, and timestamps — completely in your browser.
