When to use it
Use it before sharing images when you want to reduce common EXIF or metadata baggage without uploading the file.

What this tool does
Remove Image Metadata redraws an image through browser canvas and exports a new file, which removes most embedded metadata.
How it works
Load an image, the browser re-encodes pixels into a fresh file, and you download the cleaned version.
Useful for
- Sharing photos with less metadata.
- Cleaning images before upload.
- Reducing accidental device/location hints.
Limitations
This removes most common metadata but is not a forensic privacy guarantee. Some metadata-like information can exist outside standard EXIF.
Questions before the button mashing
Is this perfect metadata removal?
No. It is a practical browser re-encode, not a forensic security tool.
Is the image uploaded?
No. Re-encoding happens locally in your browser.
