Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this remove?
For JPEG files: all EXIF data is stripped from the binary file — GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens model, date and time taken, software, artist, and copyright tags, plus any other EXIF/IPTC fields. The pixel data is never touched, so there is zero image quality loss. For PNG files: the image is re-rendered through a canvas (still lossless for PNG) which removes all embedded text chunks (tEXt, iTXt, zTXt).
Why does my photo contain GPS coordinates?
Smartphones embed your GPS location into every photo by default, often with precision down to a few metres. When you share a photo — via email, social media, messaging apps, or by uploading it anywhere — this location data travels with the file. Anyone who receives the raw file can extract your exact address from it using free tools.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens inside your browser tab. Your files never leave your device — this page works entirely offline once loaded. We have no server that could receive file data.
Does stripping metadata change the image quality?
For JPEG files, no: we remove the EXIF segment from the file's binary structure without re-encoding the image. The pixels are identical to the original. For PNG files, the image is re-drawn through an HTML canvas — PNG is a lossless format, so there is no quality loss, though the file size may differ slightly due to PNG's compression.
