Protect your online privacy! Did you know that digital photos contain hidden information - metadata tags - about the image, camera, photographer and location? These tags are created by digital cameras and photo editing software. There are many different tags, for example Exif, GPS, IPTC & XMP, just to name a few. Although mostly a useful compliment to the picture, there are many reasons why you would want to remove these tags before publishing an image.
