FAQ

Are my images uploaded to a server when using this EXIF remover?

No. Analysis and removal run entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded.

What metadata is removed?

It removes common share-sensitive metadata such as date taken, GPS/location, camera model, and editing software info (when present in the file).

Can you remove metadata from HEIC/HEIF as-is?

HEIC/HEIF handling depends on browser support. In some cases, this tool may save the result as JPEG to ensure metadata is removed (the extension changes).

Does removal change image quality or appearance?

For most formats, only metadata is edited so the visible image stays the same. However, HEIC/HEIF may be re-encoded during conversion, which can slightly change quality.

Can I remove only GPS and keep other fields?

This page is designed for “remove everything.” If you want to keep or edit specific fields, use the EXIF editor instead.

Why do colors sometimes shift after conversion?

Differences in decoding/encoding and color handling can cause small shifts. For critical images, compare the output against the original.

When to use lossless vs lossy?

Use lossless formats (e.g., PNG) for editing intermediates, and lossy formats (JPEG/WebP/AVIF) for distribution outputs. Choose based on your quality tolerance.

When should EXIF be preserved?

EXIF is useful for asset tracking, but for public sharing it may include location and other details — stripping it is often safer.
