Check hidden metadata
Use CleanMyPhoto to inspect supported embedded metadata in the actual file you plan to send. Location, dates, device information and file names can all deserve a second look.
- • GPS coordinates and direction
- • Dates and times
- • Camera, device and software fields
- • The file name and surrounding context
Check visible details yourself
CleanMyPhoto does not detect faces, text, QR codes, license plates or documents. Review the pixels for people, addresses, street signs, badges, screens, reflections, boarding passes, receipts and school or workplace information.
