Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is hidden data stored inside most photos: the camera, lens, date, software and often the GPS location where the shot was taken.
Does removing EXIF reduce image quality?
No. The metadata is stored separately from the pixels, so removing it does not touch the image data at all — the cleanup is 100% lossless.
Why should I remove GPS data from my photos?
When you share a photo online, the embedded GPS coordinates can reveal exactly where you took it. Removing them protects your home, workplace and daily routines.
Do you see my photos?
Never. The scan and the cleanup happen entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded anywhere.
How this tool works
EXIF is the hidden metadata inside a photo: the camera model, date, settings and - when allowed - GPS coordinates. Useful while you organize files, risky the moment the image leaves your machine.
- Drop a photo and the tool lists every metadata block it finds, then strips them all on export. The pixels are not re-encoded, so image quality is untouched.
- You can also check a file before sharing: upload it, read what the metadata reveals, and decide whether the original or the cleaned copy is what you want to send.
What a photo says about you
GPS tags can point at your home, office or a child's school; the timestamp plus camera serial narrows a shoot to a person. Job applications, forum uploads and classifieds are common places this leaks unintentionally - and metadata persists through most chat apps' forwarding.
There is a flip side: printers and photo labs sometimes need capture date and color profile to do their job. Strip for sharing, keep the original for production - the tool makes that split in one click.
Pro tip: Run the original through once before posting anything taken at home. Stripping costs no quality - the same pixels, none of the backstory.
