About EXIF Spoof

What Our Service Does

Our service allows you to replace the GPS coordinates of a photo. If no GPS location is found in the photo, a random city location will be assigned. This helps protect your privacy by preventing the disclosure of your actual location.

Detailed Information

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format)

EXIF 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. It includes metadata such as camera settings, timestamps, and geolocation data.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. GPS coordinates can be embedded in photos as EXIF data, indicating where the photo was taken.

Security Information

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure)

HTTPS is an extension of HTTP. It is used for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet. In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and Certificates

SSL is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client—typically a web server (website) and a browser; or a mail server and a mail client (e.g., Outlook). SSL allows sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and login credentials to be transmitted securely. Although SSL is now deprecated, its successor, TLS, is still widely referred to as SSL.

Certificates are used in SSL/TLS to verify the identity of the server, ensuring that the client is communicating with the intended server. These certificates are issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs).

Encryption

All connections to our server are encrypted, ensuring that any data you send to us, such as photos with EXIF data, is secure and cannot be intercepted by third parties. This is crucial for maintaining your privacy and protecting sensitive information.
