What metadata does a JPEG file contain?

Short answer

A JPEG can hold EXIF (including GPS), XMP, ICC, and in some files C2PA in APP11/JUMBF. This page does not yet publish a dated sample dump; it exists so the format facts stay separate from platform folklore.

Test environment

Environment details are recorded when a test is run: OS, app or browser version, device, and upload path.

How to test your own file

  1. Open a camera JPEG in Metadata Cleaner.
  2. Note GPS, Make/Model, DateTime.
  3. Export a sharing copy and re-open it.

Methodology

Every published result has to follow the same protocol: a known source file, a recorded hash, a specific upload path, and a downloaded copy. Folklore does not count.

Privacy implications

Phone camera JPEGs are a common way location leaves the device. Inspect before sharing.
