Best practices for better results

Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.

  • Start from the original image whenever possible.
  • Review the output before publishing or deleting your original file.
  • Use related tools like resize, convert or metadata removal when you need a more specific result.
  • Choose the right format for the job: JPEG for photos, PNG for sharp graphics and WebP for modern websites.

View EXIF and photo metadata before sharing

Photos can include hidden metadata such as camera model, timestamps, editing software, copyright details and sometimes GPS location. The EXIF Viewer reads common metadata locally in your browser so you can see what is inside before uploading or sharing the file.

What the EXIF Viewer checks

  • Camera make and model
  • Original date and timestamp fields
  • Software and editing metadata
  • Copyright and artist fields when available
  • GPS metadata directories
  • XMP, IPTC/Photoshop, comments and PNG text chunks

If you find metadata you do not want to share, use Remove EXIF or Remove Metadata.
