Does every photo have EXIF data?

Most from cameras and smartphones do. Screenshots and web-saved images typically do not.

Do social media platforms strip EXIF?

Most major platforms do. Email, forums, and some messaging apps may not.

Can stripped metadata be recovered?

No. The Canvas redraw permanently removes it from the output.

Does the redraw reduce quality?

Slight JPEG quality loss possible. PNG preserves quality. Usually imperceptible.
