Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata can this tool remove?

You can remove EXIF (including GPS), XMP, ICC profiles, IPTC/Photoshop blocks, and image comments. For unsupported formats, use Strip ALL to re-encode without metadata.

Does this work offline and keep my files private?

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser — your images are never uploaded to any server.

Which image formats are supported?

JPEG and PNG are supported for selective removal. WebP, GIF, and BMP can be cleaned using the Strip ALL option via safe re-encoding.

Will removing metadata affect image quality?

Selective removal for JPEG/PNG keeps pixel data intact and does not change image quality. Strip ALL uses re-encoding which may change format and can slightly affect size/quality depending on the encoder.

Pro Tips

  • Enable Strip ALL for maximum privacy across all formats
  • Disable comments to remove embedded notes and software tags
  • Check file size after cleaning for web optimization
