Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF data?
EXIF data is metadata embedded within image files (like JPEGs) that contains information about the camera settings, date, time, and even the GPS location where the photo was taken.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No, all EXIF extraction and stripping is done locally in your browser. Your images are never sent to our servers.
Does removing EXIF data reduce image quality?
No. For JPEGs, this tool uses a lossless technique that removes the metadata chunk without touching or re-encoding the actual image pixels. For other formats, it may re-encode the image.
