Question 1

Why remove EXIF data?

Accepted Answer

Photos can reveal where you live or where they were taken. Removing metadata before sharing protects your privacy.

Question 2

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The whole tool runs inside your browser, so your images never leave your device. The site's security policy also blocks the page from sending files anywhere.

Question 3

Does removing metadata change the image?

Accepted Answer

For JPG files the pixels are not touched — only the metadata is removed. Other formats are re-saved at high quality.

Question 4

Will my photo still be the right way up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any rotation stored in the metadata is applied to the pixels before the metadata is removed.
