Export settings (format, quality)
Formats this browser cannot write come out as PNG even on "same as source". Note that TIFF is not readable at all in Chrome, Firefox or Edge — the metadata below still lists, but no file can be written.
The image is re-encoded, so it will not be bit-for-bit what it was. 0.92 is visually hard to tell apart; choose PNG if you want no loss at all (the file gets larger).
Inspection log
The cleaned images land here, with a record of what was in them.
A photo file can carry the time it was taken, the camera body and its serial number, the lens, and the latitude and longitude of the place it was shot. This lists what is actually in there first, then re-encodes the image in your browser to produce a copy without any of it.
Formats
JPG / HEIC / PNG and more
Questions
Doesn't social media strip Exif anyway?
Major platforms usually do, but that depends on the service. Email attachments, chat apps sending "as a file", cloud share links and some marketplace listings can pass the original through untouched.
What actually goes wrong in practice?
Listing photos shot at home reveal the address. A run of posts reveals daily routine from the capture times. A camera serial number links separate photos to the same body, which is enough to connect accounts that were meant to stay apart.
Can you promise the output is completely clean?
No. The image is decoded and written out as a new file, so the original metadata blocks are not carried over, but what the browser's own encoder writes is outside our control. Re-inspect the output here, and use a second tool as well for anything sensitive.
Does it handle video or RAW files?
No. JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF images only. Videos (MP4, MOV) and camera RAW files (CR3, NEF, ARW and friends) carry location data too, but they are out of scope for this tool.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Reading, parsing and re-encoding all happen in the page. Close the tab and nothing remains.
