Metadata Stripper, answered

What metadata does a photo contain?
Often the camera model, the date and time, editing software and, on phone photos, the GPS location. The Metadata Stripper shows exactly what each photo reveals before you remove it.
Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?
No. The strip is lossless: metadata segments are removed byte by byte and the pixel data is left untouched.
How do I know the metadata is really gone?
Every file is re-read after the strip and checked again, so a clean result is proven rather than assumed. JPEG and PNG are supported.
Are my photos uploaded to be cleaned?
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded and there is no server to send it to, so nothing is stored anywhere but your device.
