It is metadata that can include what type of camera took the photo and precise location from GPS. I open photos in GIMP and then export them, taking care to uncheck the exif and a couple other metadata options.
One way is to take a screenshot of the photo. Or load and save in a different format. Or use image sharing sites that remove metadata (imgur used to be the standard one, not sure what’s good now)
Photo, share, choose Scrambled Exif, wait two seconds, share screen comes back, share with friend, and it sends the picture but not the privacy violations.
What is EXIF data? Location and time stamp? How do you remove that from photos and videos?
exiftool
Or for a one-off, copy the image in one program and paste it into another. Then it’s just pixels.
