What metadata does the tool remove?

EXIF (camera, lens, settings), GPS coordinates, IPTC (copyright, captions), XMP (editing history), and PNG text chunks. Thumbnail preview is also removed.

Why should I remove metadata before sharing?

GPS coordinates can reveal your home address. Camera serial numbers can identify your device. Timestamps reveal when the photo was taken. Strip metadata for privacy.

Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

No. Metadata is stored separately from pixel data. Removing it does not touch the image itself — output is visually identical.

Can I selectively remove some metadata?

Yes. Toggle individual metadata categories (GPS, camera info, timestamps, copyright). Keep what you want, remove what you don't.

Does it work on HEIC iPhone photos?

Yes. HEIC metadata (including GPS coordinates) is fully supported. iPhones embed GPS by default — strip it before sharing.

Can I batch remove metadata from multiple images?

Yes. Drop multiple images, all metadata is stripped in batch. Output as ZIP archive of clean images.

Does the tool modify the original image file?

No. The tool outputs a new file without metadata. Your original is untouched. Save the cleaned version separately.
