Working with a document instead of a photo? Use the PDF metadata viewer and remover to inspect author details, dates and XMP, then save a checked copy.
What the photo privacy scan checks
The checker looks for embedded GPS coordinates, camera and device serial fields, author or owner names, exact timestamps, editing-software history, copyright text, keywords, and thumbnail data. It reports categories rather than exposing your file to a server.
Metadata is only one privacy layer
A clean metadata report cannot see a house number, school badge, license plate, computer screen, reflection, or face in the pixels. Review the visible image yourself. If metadata is present, make a clean sharing copy with the batch EXIF remover.
Need the raw details?
Open the Image Metadata Viewer to inspect every readable EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, and camera field instead of the summarized risk categories.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a photo unsafe to share?
A photo may reveal GPS coordinates, exact capture time, camera or phone identifiers, creator details, or private information visible in the pixels. This checker focuses on embedded metadata.
Does a low score mean the photo is completely safe?
No. The score covers metadata only. Always inspect faces, addresses, badges, reflections, documents, and other visible details before sharing.
Can SuperUtils remove the risks it finds?
The EXIF Cleaner can create a fresh copy without the metadata fields this checker detects. It does not blur or remove visible content.
