Frequently Asked Questions

What data hides in my photos?

GPS coordinates (often within meters), camera model, timestamps, and sometimes software fingerprints. Posting an original phone photo can reveal your home location — stripping EXIF removes all of it.

Does cleaning affect image quality?

No. JPEGs are stripped losslessly (APP1 segment removed, pixels bit-identical). PNG/WebP go through a max-quality canvas re-encode. File size drops slightly (a few KB) since the metadata block is gone.

What about screenshots and PNGs?

Screenshots carry little EXIF, but PNGs can hold timestamps and software tags — the tool cleans those too. JPEG and WebP scrub to max-quality JPEG, PNG re-exports as PNG; HEIC is not supported (browsers cannot decode it for canvas). The Scrub button stays disabled on already-clean images.

Should I strip before every upload?

For public posts, yes — always. For client deliveries and archives, keep originals with metadata intact (timestamps prove provenance). Clean copies for sharing, keep masters for records.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Stripping runs entirely in your browser. Photos never leave your device.
