The metadata includes information such as the camera settings, date and time the photo was taken, and even GPS coordinates. This information is embedded within the image itself and can be read by various software applications to provide details about the image. The EXIF format was developed by the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA) and has become widely adopted by camera manufacturers and software developers. It is supported by a variety of operating systems and devices, making it easy to access and utilize the metadata. EXIF data has numerous practical applications, including organizing and sorting images, analyzing photographic techniques, and verifying the authenticity of images. However, there are also privacy concerns associated with EXIF data, as it can potentially reveal sensitive information about the photographer or the location where the photo was taken.
