FAQ

Frequently asked questions about removing image metadata

Does this tool upload my images?⌄

No. All processing happens client-side in your browser. Your images never leave your device.

Will image quality be affected?⌄

For JPEG files, the lossless mode removes EXIF without re-encoding, so quality stays the same. For non-JPEG formats, we re-encode to strip metadata, which may result in minimal changes depending on the format and quality.

Which formats are supported?⌄

JPEG, PNG, and WebP. JPEG supports lossless EXIF-only removal. Other formats are scrubbed via re-encode.

Can I process images in bulk?⌄

Yes. Use the "Clean All (ZIP)" button to process all selected images and download them in a single ZIP file.
