Strip metadata from photos before posting to Reddit. Protect your location, device info, and identity. Reddit preserves some EXIF data.
RedditReddit's image hosting (i.redd.it) strips most EXIF data, but Imgur-hosted links and direct image URLs posted to Reddit may retain full metadata. If you post photos to subreddits using third-party hosting or link directly to files, your GPS coordinates, camera serial number, and timestamps could be visible to anyone who downloads the image. Strip metadata before sharing on Reddit — especially for posts about your home, neighborhood, or workplace.
Even if Reddit strips EXIF from hosted images, consider that any photo you post builds a visual profile. Metadata-stripped photos are safer, but also avoid posting identifiable landmarks or street signs near your home.
