Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata is stripped from photos and images?
The stripper removes all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata blocks, including GPS latitude/longitude/altitude coordinates, device make and model (e.g. iPhone serial numbers), camera lens settings, date/time timestamps, and editing software tags (e.g. Photoshop or Lightroom).
Does stripping metadata reduce image visual quality?
No! For JPEG and PNG files, the binary metadata headers are stripped losslessly at the byte level without recompressing or altering the image pixels. Your photos maintain 100% of their original visual sharpness.
What metadata is removed from PDF documents?
All document information dictionary tags are erased, including Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Creator application, PDF Producer software, and original creation and modification timestamps.
Are my confidential files uploaded to any external server?
Never. All inspection and binary sanitization algorithms run entirely in your local web browser memory using client-side JavaScript. Zero bytes are ever transmitted across the internet.
Can I clean multiple files at once?
Yes! You can drop dozens of images and documents simultaneously, inspect metadata for each item, and download all cleaned files together in a convenient ZIP bundle.
