Does OG remove exif data automatically?

[beacher]

So I’ve realized that my phone takes better pics than my old digi cam that I usually use. I’d love to be even lazier and just be able to snap pics on my phone and add them here. Does the site automatically remove exif data from uploaded pics?

I’m pretty sure that it does. Gonna go look through the intro stuff again.

[beacher]

Good to know, thanks all! I’m sure I could have found that myself but wanted to be sure…

I’m pretty sure they dont keep anything. Theres a lot of info about the security of the site in that faq I posted.

I went into phone settings and turned off gps data for photos and turned the resolution down a little… The date is usually saved in the file name so that could be something else to strip.
