Does Reddit remove EXIF metadata from images?
Short answer
Pending. Old Reddit, new Reddit, and app uploads can differ. We will not copy a decade-old forum answer into this slot.

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
- Record client (app vs web).
- Upload, download, hash, inspect.
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
Sanitize before a public subreddit post if the image could include GPS or camera serials.
