Details about the image, such as its size and file type
Details that are embedded within the image
Additional details are found from within the image file, often saved
there by the digital camera that took the picture or the application that
generated the image. This data can also be manually added or changed
after the image has been created. Google doesn't create or change this
data in images created by others.
2. The data is saved using the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF)
specification and can include details about the type of camera that took the
image, the camera settings (like aperture, focal length, exposure length,
and flash settings), and the copyright and usage rights associated with the
image by the person who created or edited the image.
Since this information is contained within the image file itself, anyone
who has access to the image is able to access these additional details.
Please note that EXIF data may not always be accurate.
