Does Reddit remove photo metadata?
See what Reddit removes from your photos and clean GPS, device and date details with Spoofzy before posting.
Reddit says it strips location and personal-information metadata from shared images and videos. To control the file you upload, clean a copy first and use that version wherever you share it.
What Reddit removes from uploaded media
Reddit’s privacy page says it removes location and personal-information metadata from shared photos and videos.
For specific fields you want removed, inspect your own file before posting.
Check the photo and the post together
Your picture appears alongside a title, username, profile and comments. Those details remain part of a public Reddit post.
Look at the picture itself too: street signs, documents, reflections and client names can reveal information. Crop or edit anything you want to keep private.
| Information | Where it appears | Relevant review |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded GPS or device fields | Inside the media file | Inspect the copy you intend to share. |
| A visible address or face | In the picture itself | Review the image, framing and permission to publish. |
| A revealing title or username | Around the media on Reddit | Review the complete post and account context. |
Check files hosted on another website
A Reddit link can send readers to an image hosted elsewhere. That site controls the downloadable file and its metadata.
Open the destination link and check the copy readers can save. Use your cleaned delivery file for both the Reddit post and any external download.

Remove location data before uploading
On iPhone or iPad, open the photo and swipe up or tap Info to see its location. Photos also offers controls for removing the saved location or leaving it out when sharing.
For a batch, use Spoofzy’s Metadata Privacy to remove supported GPS, device and date fields. Keep your originals, download the cleaned copies and inspect the fields you chose.
Use those copies for your posts and client handoffs so each destination starts with the file you prepared.

Inspect the downloaded photo
Download the photo from a post you are authorised to inspect and open it in a metadata viewer. Check the GPS, device and date fields that matter to you.
For a transfer test, use a non-sensitive image. Note the upload route and fields checked so you can repeat the comparison if your workflow changes.
Keep account privacy separate
Metadata Privacy removes supported details inside the media file. Reddit also uses account and network information, including an IP address to infer a general location.
Review your profile, post and file together when privacy matters. For repeated content work, prepare a cleaned batch once and use those copies across your chosen destinations.
Share the photo with the file details you choose.
