Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this remove?
Re-encoding the image through your browser discards all embedded metadata — EXIF (camera model, date, and GPS coordinates), XMP, and color-profile tags. The visible pixels are unchanged.
Do you upload my photo?
No. The scan and the metadata removal both happen on your device. Open DevTools → Network and you will see no file leaves your browser.
Why does GPS in photos matter?
Phones often embed the exact location a photo was taken. Sharing that image can reveal your home or routine. Removing EXIF before posting protects your privacy.
Will the image quality change?
PNG files stay lossless. JPG/WebP are re-saved as high-quality JPEG (92%), which is visually identical for almost all photos.
