Does X (Twitter) remove EXIF metadata from images?

Short answer

No dated CreatorPrivacyKit test of an X upload path is published yet. A public derivative can show what the delivered copy contains. It cannot show ranking rules or internal storage.

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. Record the source hash.
  2. Post an image.
  3. Download the displayed asset.
  4. Compare EXIF and C2PA with the source.

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

Strip GPS before a public post if the photo could place you. Do not read a missing C2PA packet as a ranking outcome.
