What is image metadata?
Metadata is invisible information embedded inside the image file, recording what happened to the photo from capture to edit. Four kinds are common: EXIF holds camera settings, IPTC holds authorship and copyright, XMP holds edit history, and ICC is the color profile that decides how colors reproduce.
What does EXIF usually contain?
The settings your camera recorded automatically: body model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, metering mode and capture time. Photos from phones often carry GPS coordinates as well, which pinpoint exactly where the shot was taken.
Are uploaded images stored anywhere?
No. A file only lives in the server temp directory until parsing finishes, then PHP destroys it automatically. Nothing is written to persistent storage, and the logs record error summaries only — never metadata content.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, JPEG XL, Photoshop PSD, plus RAW formats including Canon CR2/CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Panasonic RW2, Olympus ORF and Adobe DNG.
How do I strip GPS and personal data from a photo?
Run exiftool -all= filename to wipe all metadata before sharing, or exiftool -gps:all= filename to remove only the location. Most phones can also turn off location data in the share options of the system photo app.
Why does my image show no metadata?
Many platforms strip metadata on upload. Screenshots, images saved from web pages, and files exported by certain editors typically carry no EXIF either. That is expected behaviour, not a parsing failure.
