🧐 FAQ

Are my photos uploaded to a server? No. All processing occurs on the client side (in your browser). Your files stay on your device.

What file types are supported? This tool is optimized for JPEGs, the primary container for EXIF data. While some TIFF files contain metadata, formats like PNG typically do not.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality? No. The tool processes the image via a high-quality canvas to strip metadata while maintaining visual fidelity, saving it as a high-resolution JPEG.

📚 Why EXIF Matters

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) stores technical data inside your image files. While useful for organizing libraries, it often includes precise "geotags" that pose a privacy risk on social media. Checking your photos with an EXIF viewer ensures you only share the pixels—not your location.
