Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I remove EXIF metadata?
Photos taken with smartphones often embed exact GPS coordinates and device information. Removing this metadata prevents others from finding out exactly where and when a photo was taken, protecting your privacy when sharing images online.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. This EXIF Remover runs entirely in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. Your photos never leave your device, ensuring 100% complete privacy.
What is the difference between granular and total removal?
Granular removal allows you to specifically select what data to remove (e.g., delete GPS but keep the Date) - this is currently supported only for JPEG images. For PNG and WebP, the tool performs a Total Clean, stripping all metadata by rebuilding the image.
