Frequently Asked Questions
What sensitive data is hidden inside photo EXIF headers?
Smartphones and digital cameras routinely embed exact GPS latitude/longitude coordinates, altitude, the date and time the photo was taken, the phone or camera make and model, and lens settings inside JPEG headers.
How does this tool remove EXIF data without uploading the photo?
It reads the raw EXIF tags in memory using JavaScript, draws the raw visual pixels onto an HTML5 Canvas element (which discards all file-level metadata headers), and exports a brand-new image file.
Does removing EXIF data change the resolution of my photo?
No. The exported image keeps the exact pixel width and height of your original photo.
