Frequently asked questions

What metadata gets removed?+

All embedded EXIF data, including GPS location, camera make and model, lens, exposure settings, date and time taken, software tags, and copyright/IPTC fields. The image is fully re-encoded so nothing hidden remains.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?+

No. The cleaning happens entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never touch a server, which makes this safe for sensitive or private photos.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?+

JPG and WebP are re-saved at 92% quality, which is visually identical for almost all photos. PNG is re-encoded losslessly. Dimensions and pixels are preserved.

Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing a photo?+

Photos taken on phones often embed your exact GPS coordinates and device details. Stripping metadata protects your location and privacy before posting online or sending a file.

Does this remove the “made with AI” tags from ChatGPT or DALL·E images?+

The tool re-encodes the visible pixels into a fresh image, which removes embedded C2PA Content Credentials, XMP blocks, and AI-source tags it encounters. It does not change the pixels or remove a visible watermark.
