Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about processing files securely in your browser
What is EXIF data and why should I remove it?
EXIF data is metadata stored inside image files by digital cameras and smartphones. It often contains sensitive information like GPS coordinates, date/time taken, camera model, and settings. Removing it protects your digital privacy.
How does this tool remove EXIF metadata?
It parses the raw binary structure of your JPEG/PNG files, identifies and strips the metadata headers (such as APP1 EXIF segments), and re-saves the clean image bytes locally.
Are my photos uploaded to a server to clean metadata?
No, the EXIF parsing and stripping are handled entirely client-side using JavaScript. Your images remain private and never leave your web browser.
Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?
No. This tool only strips the metadata header blocks (EXIF, IPTC, XMP). The actual compressed image pixel data is completely untouched, so your photo quality remains exactly the same.
