Frequently asked questions
- What is EXIF metadata in a photo?
- Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) is data automatically embedded into your photos by cameras, smartphones, and software. It often contains your exact GPS latitude and longitude, camera serial number, date and time, lens specifications, and photo editing software details.
- Why should I remove EXIF and GPS data before sharing photos?
- Sharing unstripped photos on blogs, forums, dating apps, or via direct messaging can inadvertently broadcast your exact home address, workplace, or travel schedule to strangers through embedded GPS geotags.
- Does this tool upload my photos to your servers?
- The Sealed Rose Metadata Inspector & Cleaner runs 100% locally inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript FileReader. Your files never leave your device.
- Can this tool detect if an image was generated by AI?
- Many AI generators (like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and ComfyUI) embed generation parameters, prompts, and software identifiers into PNG and JPEG metadata chunks. Our tool scans for these signatures.
- How does Sealed Rose handle photo privacy during media analysis?
- When you analyze photos on Sealed Rose, files are processed in ephemeral volatile memory and deleted immediately after your scan. We never store or train on your uploaded media.
