Review Before Sharing
For highly sensitive files, use a dedicated privacy workflow and check the final file with professional tools.
Who Uses This Tool
Use it before posting screenshots, sharing photos in public documents, sending images to clients, or uploading images where privacy matters. It is best for routine cleanup, not forensic security.
Privacy and Limitations
Processing is local, but no browser tool can guarantee removal of every possible hidden data structure. For highly sensitive files, verify the final image with a dedicated metadata inspector.
Helpful FAQ
What metadata can images contain?
Images may contain camera settings, timestamps, software information, thumbnails, and sometimes GPS location.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality?
The visible image should remain similar, but the exported file may be re-encoded depending on browser support and format.
Should I keep the original file?
Yes. Keep the original privately if you need capture date, camera settings, or editing history.
