EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata stored inside photo files. It can include camera model, lens, exposure settings, date/time, GPS coordinates, and even thumbnail images. This data is often invisible but can reveal sensitive information when shared online.

EXIF data can contain GPS coordinates, which may reveal your home or workplace location. Other details like device serial numbers can also pose privacy risks. Removing EXIF helps protect your privacy and reduces file size slightly.

No. This tool re-encodes the image without any metadata, preserving original pixel quality. You can choose the output format (JPEG/PNG). The visual quality remains identical.

Absolutely not. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your photos are never transmitted over the internet. This is a client‑side tool – 100% private and secure.

Currently, common image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) are supported. Some HEIC files may work depending on browser capabilities. RAW formats are not supported, but you can convert them to JPEG first.
