EXIF is information attached to image data
Cameras and phones may store technical details alongside visible pixels. This can help software rotate and organize images, but some fields can be private when shared publicly.
Location tags require care
GPS metadata can reveal where a photo was captured. OpenFileTools warns when recognized location tags exist, but does not plot coordinates or send metadata to a map service.
Metadata formats vary
JPEG, PNG, and WebP can store different metadata blocks. A viewer can report recognized fields without guaranteeing that every proprietary tag has been decoded.
