Wanting your feet seen and wanting to stay anonymous go together very well. Plenty of creators post feet pics without ever being recognizable, and the fans who rate them, follow them, chat with them or come into their backroom never need to know more. It takes five habits, and most of them cost nothing.
Use a pseudonym
Pick a username with no link to your real name, your email or the handles you use elsewhere.
Keep your face out of it
Frame your shots below the knee, or blur your face in your phone's editor before you upload.
Strip photo metadata
Phone photos can carry GPS coordinates. Share a copy without location, or turn location off for the camera.
Watch the background
Mail, diplomas, street views and reflective surfaces can identify you faster than your face.
Separate your accounts
Use a dedicated email and never post the same photo on an anonymous profile and a personal one.
Use a pseudonym
Start clean: a username with no connection to your real name, your usual handles or your email address.
If you reuse a nickname that exists anywhere else online, a single search can connect the dots. On RateMyFeet, a username is all you need: no face or real name.
Keep your face out of it
The simplest rule: if your face is not in the photo, it cannot identify you.
- Frame below the knee, or shoot from above.
- Crop before posting rather than after.
- When you love a shot that includes your face, blur it in your phone's editor before you upload.
Faceless profiles rank just as well. People are here for your feet.
Strip photo metadata
Two easy ways to do it:
- When you share. On an iPhone, tap Options at the top of the share sheet and switch Location off. Many Android galleries have a similar setting.
- At the source. Turn off location for your camera app, and new photos never carry it.
Many sites strip metadata on upload, but never rely on it. Make it part of your routine and the risk disappears.
Watch the background
Backgrounds leak identity more often than faces: an envelope with your address, a diploma on the wall, a distinctive window view, a mirror that catches you.
Before posting, scan the frame corner to corner. A plain blanket or a clean floor is better photography and better privacy at the same time. Our guide on taking good feet pics covers backgrounds in depth.
Separate your accounts
Use a dedicated email for your feet account, and never post the same photo on your anonymous profile and on a personal one.
Reverse image search turns identical photos into an instant link between two identities. One set of photos per identity, always.
FAQ
How do I post feet pics anonymously?
Post feet pics anonymously with a fresh pseudonym, no face in frame, no location metadata and a neutral background. Keep that account apart from your personal ones.
Do I need to show my face to post feet pics?
You never need to show your face to post feet pics, and on RateMyFeet faces never appear at all. Frame below the knee, or blur your face before you upload.
How do I remove metadata from a photo?
You remove a photo's location metadata by turning location off when you share it: on an iPhone, tap Options in the share sheet and switch Location off. You can also disable location for your camera app.
Can someone find me from my feet pics?
Someone can only find you from your feet pics through details you leave in: location metadata, a recognizable background, or the same photo posted on a personal account. Remove those and there is little to go on.
Is RateMyFeet anonymous?
RateMyFeet is anonymous if you want it to be: you post under a username, with no face or real name needed, and you can delete any post at any time.
