1. Understanding Metadata in Images

Metadata refers to additional information stored within image files, such as:

• EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format): Stores details like camera settings, GPS location, date/time of capture.
• IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council): Includes copyright, author name, and description.
• XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform): Contains tags and structured data related to images.

Why Remove Metadata?

• Reduces File Size: Eliminating unnecessary metadata reduces image size, improving website speed.
• Enhances Privacy & Security: Removing GPS and personal details prevents unintentional data leaks.
• Boosts SEO Performance: Lightweight images contribute to better search rankings and faster indexing.
• Ensures Compliance: Some industries require metadata stripping to comply with security regulations.
