Use An Analyzer Tool First

An image analyzer scans the file and shows all readable metadata tags, organized by category and sensitivity.

Look For Location And Camera Tags

GPS, camera model, and software tags are the most common sensitive metadata fields found in photos.

Decide Whether To Clean Or Keep Original

If the image contains sensitive metadata, run a metadata clean export. Keep the original for personal archives.
