Strip EXIF metadata from photos before sending via email. Email attachments preserve all GPS, camera, and personal data embedded in images.
Email SafetyEmail attachments preserve all original file metadata — unlike social media platforms that strip EXIF data on upload. When you email a photo, the recipient receives the full file with embedded GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, timestamps, and software history. This applies to all email services: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and others. Strip metadata before attaching photos to emails, especially when communicating with people outside your trusted circle.
Email is the most common way professionals share photos — and the least protected in terms of metadata. Business emails with product photos, property images, or documentation shots all carry full EXIF data unless explicitly stripped.
