Frequently asked questions

What EXIF data is removed?

All EXIF metadata is stripped — this includes camera make and model, GPS coordinates, date and time, lens settings, and any embedded thumbnail. The canvas redraw process used by this tool produces a clean image with no metadata.

Does stripping EXIF affect image quality?

For JPEG files, the download uses 95% quality, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for typical photos. PNG files are lossless and are re-encoded with no quality change.

Which image formats are supported?

JPEG and PNG are fully supported. WebP files can be uploaded but will be downloaded as JPEG. The canvas API used to strip metadata works with any format the browser can decode.

Is my image processed on the server?

No. The entire process runs locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded anywhere — you can verify this by checking the browser's network tab, which will show zero outgoing requests.
