Frequently Asked Questions About EXIF Metadata Privacy
What is EXIF metadata and why should I strip it?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is embedded in photos taken by smartphones and cameras. It often includes precise GPS coordinates, exact date/time, device model, camera serial numbers, and exposure settings, posing privacy risks when shared publicly.
Does removing EXIF metadata affect image quality?
No! Stripping EXIF metadata removes only hidden header tags while leaving the visual pixel data intact.
Is my original photo uploaded anywhere to remove EXIF?
No. Metadata stripping happens entirely within your web browser using HTML5 Canvas re-encoding. Your photos never leave your device.
Can I remove EXIF data from multiple photos at once?
Yes! You can drop multiple JPEG or PNG photos at once, strip all metadata, and download the sanitized files in batch.
