Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, lens info, timestamps, and more — data you may not want to share publicly.
Does this tool upload my images?
No. Everything happens in your browser via the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images and their metadata never leave your device.
Why should I remove EXIF data?
When sharing photos online, EXIF data can expose your location, device information, and other personal details to anyone who downloads the file.
