Does every photo have EXIF data?

No. Screenshots and images that have already been processed or stripped (by messaging apps, social media, or a tool like EXIF Data Remover) usually have little or none. The page then says so.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere to read this data?

No. The file is read entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

What does DPI mean, and does it change my picture?

DPI is a label that tells printers how large to print the picture. It does not change the number of pixels. A 3000 px wide photo is still 3000 px wide at 72 or 300 DPI.

What is a colour profile?

A small description of the colours the picture uses, most often sRGB. Pictures without one are treated as sRGB by browsers, but can look different in print or in some editors.

How do I know if my photo shares my location?

If GPS coordinates are stored, the page shows a Location section with a warning. A map link is only created when you ask for it, and opening it sends the coordinates to OpenStreetMap. Use EXIF Data Remover to strip location before sharing the original.

The file name says .jpg but the page says PNG. Why?

The page checks the real contents of the file, not its name. A renamed file can be refused by websites and programs. Convert it to the format you actually need.
