+## Why Use Untrace?
+
+Modern images contain hidden data that can compromise your privacy:
+
+- **Location data** reveals where photos were taken
+- **AI signatures** show which tools generated images
+- **Device info** identifies your camera/phone
+- **Timestamps** reveal when images were created
+
+Untrace removes all this data while keeping your images looking exactly the same.
