    Questions

    What is image metadata, and why remove it?

    Phones and cameras store extra information inside each photo: often the exact place it was taken, the date and time, and the device. Anyone who gets the original file can read it. Removing it before you post or send a photo keeps that information to yourself.

    Does removing metadata reduce quality?

    No. The tool copies the compressed image data exactly as it is and only leaves out the metadata sections, so every pixel stays the same. Files usually get a little smaller.

    Can I remove only the location and keep the rest?

    Yes. Choose “Only the location”: the GPS coordinates are removed from EXIF, and coordinates and place names (city, state, country) from XMP and IPTC. The camera, lens, exposure, dates, captions and ratings stay, which is handy for photographers who want to keep their shooting details.

    What about HEIC photos from an iPhone?

    HEIC files can’t be cleaned without rebuilding them, so this tool doesn’t accept them. Converting with HEIC to JPG gives you a JPG with no metadata at all.

    Don’t social networks remove metadata anyway?

    Many large platforms strip it from public posts, but email, messaging apps, cloud links, forums and smaller sites often send the original file untouched. Cleaning photos yourself means you don’t have to rely on each service.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
