FAQ
What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded inside photos by your camera or smartphone. It records GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens details, shutter speed, ISO, timestamps, and software used to edit the image.
What data gets removed?
All embedded metadata blocks are stripped: GPS coordinates, camera make/model, timestamps, exposure settings, ISO, orientation, ICC colour profiles, XMP data, IPTC tags and custom maker notes. Only the raw pixel data is kept.
Does removing EXIF affect image quality?
No. Metadata removal only deletes the metadata blocks — the pixel data is completely untouched. Your photos look identical and keep the same resolution, but have a slightly smaller file size.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG and PNG. JPEG files are processed by our Rust/WebAssembly module which parses and removes the APP1 EXIF marker block. PNG files are re-encoded without any tEXt, iCCP or gAMA metadata chunks.
Why should I strip EXIF before sharing photos?
GPS metadata reveals exactly where a photo was taken — your home, workplace or travel destination. Timestamps and camera serial numbers can also be used to identify your device. Stripping this data before posting online is a simple step that protects your privacy and reduces your digital footprint.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Yes. Drop as many JPEG or PNG files as you need in one go. All images are processed in parallel and you can download the cleaned files as a single ZIP archive.
Are my images ever uploaded to a server?
Never. All EXIF stripping runs locally in your browser using a Rust/WebAssembly module. No pixel data or metadata ever leaves your device.
