Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata is removed?

All EXIF data including GPS location, camera model, lens info, exposure settings, timestamps, and creator information.

Will removing metadata reduce quality?

No, only metadata is removed. The actual image pixels and visual quality remain unchanged.

Can I recover metadata after removal?

No, metadata removal is permanent. Always keep original files if you need to preserve metadata.

Why should I remove GPS data?

GPS coordinates reveal where photos were taken, which can compromise privacy and security, especially for home locations.

Does this work on all image formats?

It works on JPG and some PNG files. Not all formats store EXIF metadata.
