Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata is removed from my images?
This tool removes all EXIF metadata including GPS location coordinates, camera make and model, lens information, exposure settings, timestamps (date taken), software information, and any embedded thumbnails.
Does this affect image quality?
The image is re-exported at maximum quality to minimize any visual difference. For JPEG images, a quality setting of 0.95 is used. PNG images are exported losslessly. The pixel dimensions remain identical to the original.
Why should I remove metadata from photos?
Photos taken with smartphones and cameras often contain hidden data including your exact GPS location, device information, and timestamps. Removing this metadata protects your privacy when sharing images on social media, forums, or via email.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never sent to any server, ensuring your privacy is fully protected during the cleaning process.
Which image formats are supported?
This tool supports all common image formats including JPEG/JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF. The cleaned output will be in the same format as the original file whenever possible.
