What is EXIF?
EXIF metadata is information embedded inside an image file by the camera or phone that took it. It commonly includes the camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, and — most importantly for privacy — the exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken.
When you share a photo, that metadata travels with it unless you remove it. Some platforms strip metadata automatically, but many do not. If you ever post a photo on a personal site, send it by email, or upload it to a system you don't fully trust, removing metadata first is a good habit.
Re-encode vs. lossless mode
Re-encode mode reads the pixels, throws away all metadata, and re-encodes the image as a JPG (for JPG/PNG inputs) or PNG. It always strips everything, but the file is recompressed which causes a tiny quality loss.
Lossless mode is JPG-only. It rewrites the JPG file at the byte level, removing the EXIF, IPTC and XMP markers without touching pixel data. The image stays bit-identical, just lighter and metadata-free.
