Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF metadata? +
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded in image files by cameras and phones. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, date and time the photo was taken, software used, and sometimes the author name and copyright.
Why should I remove metadata? +
GPS coordinates in photos can reveal your home address, workplace, or daily routine. Camera and software info can be used to identify you. Removing metadata before sharing photos online protects your privacy and reduces unnecessary file size.
Does removing metadata affect image quality? +
No. Metadata is separate from the image pixel data. Removing it has zero effect on visual quality, resolution, or colors. The image looks identical — it just has no hidden information attached.
What formats are supported? +
JPG and PNG are supported. JPG files commonly contain EXIF data from cameras and phones. PNG files rarely contain sensitive metadata but the tool strips all non-image data as well. WebP support is also included.
How does the metadata removal work? +
The tool re-draws your image onto an HTML5 Canvas and exports it as a new file. This process discards all metadata because Canvas only captures raw pixel data — no EXIF, no GPS, no camera info carries over to the new file.
