I have already tried these libraries and I found them very interesting. I found some open source NuGet packages which can be used to read and also remove metadata from images. If metadata is not deleted from the uploaded images, this might cause privacy concerns for your application's users. Imagine you implement your social media, where people can upload pics and watch others users' pics. Why remove metadata from images?Īs metadata can contain information about the GPS location and device that took the pic, you won't probably let people see other users' location using their images in your application. In this blog post, I am not going to share with you how to read this information but how to remove it. It includes information about the device that took the picture, the location, the camera settings, copyrights, and more.

In other words, metadata is information stored with a photo.

“Photo metadata is a set of data describing and providing information about rights and administration of an image.”.
