What Is EXIF Data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in digital photos by cameras and smartphones. It records technical details about how the image was captured, including camera model, lens, exposure time, ISO sensitivity, and sometimes GPS location. This data is automatically saved when you take a photo, but many tools and services strip it for privacy reasons.
