Check what a photo reveals about you

By a fixed set of rules, not by a model. GPS coordinates contribute the most because they locate you precisely; details that name a person or a specific camera body come next; the capture timestamp and an embedded preview follow. The same file always produces the same number, and every point is attributed to a finding shown on screen.

That the file contains enough to place you somewhere at a specific time, or to link this photo to others you have shared. It is a measure of what the metadata discloses, not a judgement about whether you should post the picture - that depends entirely on where it is going and who will see it.

No. It reads the file's metadata blocks and never decodes the image, so it cannot see a face, a street sign or a screen in the background. Those are often the bigger risk, and no metadata tool can help with them. Look at the picture yourself as well as the score.

Because removing metadata does not rename the file, and filenames leak too. A name containing a full date survives every metadata tool and gets shared along with the image. When the checker recognises a date pattern it flags it, so you can rename the file before sending it.

No. Zero means this tool found no identifying metadata in the blocks it can read. The pixels may still be revealing, the format may hide vendor data the tool reports only as 'other', and the way you share the file can disclose plenty on its own. Treat it as a clean bill of metadata health, not of anonymity.
