Frequently asked questions
What does it remove?
Removes identifying metadata while preserving orientation and color information needed to display the image correctly.
Will it reduce image quality?
No. It removes only the metadata segments and keeps the original compressed image data unchanged, so quality is identical — the file just gets a little smaller.
Why does this matter?
A photo's GPS tag can reveal your home or whereabouts to anyone you send it to. Many social networks strip it, but files shared directly (email, chat, marketplaces) often keep it.
