What is EXIF metadata?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is data embedded inside photos by cameras and smartphones containing GPS location, date, camera model, and camera settings.
How does stripping EXIF protect my privacy?
Stripping EXIF removes latitude/longitude coordinates and device IDs so third parties cannot trace where or when a photo was taken.
Does removing EXIF change how the photo looks?
No. Stripping EXIF metadata removes background text headers without altering visual pixel quality.
Can I view EXIF metadata without removing it?
Yes! The EXIF Privacy panel includes a built-in inspector to view all embedded tags before stripping.
Are photos sent to a server to clean EXIF?
No. The EXIF cleaning process happens entirely within your web browser.
