What this tool does
Image EXIF Privacy Scanner is a pre-share safety check for photos and web images. Upload one image or a batch and it produces a CSV that highlights whether EXIF exists, whether GPS data is signaled, which camera make and model appear, which software wrote the file, whether date-time metadata is present, and whether XMP or ICC payloads are present. It is meant for journalists, creators, support teams, ecommerce operators, and anyone publishing images that may have come from phones, cameras, design apps, or screenshots. The scanner does not upload or modify files; it points out privacy signals so you can decide whether to strip metadata before sharing.

Sharing the exported scan CSV publicly even though it summarizes private metadata.
