What metadata gets removed?

Everything — EXIF (GPS, camera, software), IPTC, and XMP metadata blocks are all dropped during re-encoding.

Re-encoding at 95% quality is visually identical to the source for almost all photos.

Why does this matter?

Photos shared on social media or marketplaces can leak your home address (via GPS), your device, and your timezone — sometimes even when the platform claims to strip metadata.
