About EXIF Spoof

Welcome to EXIF Spoof! Our website allows you to easily upload a photo, change its location information, and save the updated file. This is particularly useful for photographers, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants to manage their photo metadata.

Here's how it works:

1. Select and upload your photo (JPG or JPEG files only).
2. Use our interactive map to pin a new location for your photo.
3. Download the updated photo with the new location information embedded in its EXIF data.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras (including smartphones) and other systems handling image and sound files recorded by digital cameras.

EXIF data is stored as metadata embedded within the image file itself. This data includes a wide range of information such as the date and time the photo was taken, camera settings like aperture, shutter speed, focal length, and ISO speed, as well as the make and model of the camera. Learn more about EXIF on Wikipedia.

Modern smartphones and digital cameras also embed GPS coordinates within the EXIF data, allowing the location where the photo was taken to be pinpointed on a map. This can be incredibly useful for organizing and searching through large photo collections.

To extract EXIF data, you can use various software tools and libraries. Many photo management applications and online services can read and display EXIF data. Additionally, programming libraries such as ExifLib for .NET and ImageSharp can be used to programmatically read and manipulate EXIF data.
