Frequently Asked Questions
Does stripping EXIF data lower the image quality?
No. EXIF data is stored in the 'header' of the image file, separate from the actual pixels. Removing it does not affect the resolution, sharpness, or colors of your photo.
What exactly is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras (including smartphones). It includes things like date/time, GPS coordinates, and camera settings.
Can I choose to remove only the GPS location?
The current tool performs a full 'Privacy Scrub' which removes all metadata for maximum security. We are working on a granular selector for advanced users.
Does it work with PNG and WebP files?
Yes, though JPG files typically contain the most metadata, we also support stripping metadata from PNG and WebP formats.
