Images and PDFs quietly carry metadata far beyond the picture itself: GPS coordinates, camera make and model, the software that edited them, and precise timestamps. Before you share a file publicly, this tool shows you exactly what personal data it contains — grouped by location, device, timestamps and software — then removes it and hands back a clean copy. Everything happens in your browser: image metadata is stripped with byte-level segment surgery that leaves the pixels untouched, and PDF metadata is cleared via pdf-lib. Nothing is uploaded, and the cleaned file is identical in quality to the original.
No. Detection and stripping run entirely in your browser — image byte-surgery in plain JavaScript and PDF handling via pdf-lib. Nothing is ever sent to a server.
JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF are stripped in place. HEIC and AVIF (the ISOBMFF container used by iPhone photos) are detect-only: the tool shows what metadata they contain but cannot safely rewrite them — convert them to JPG or PNG with the Image Converter to remove it. Video (MP4/MOV) metadata cannot be reliably rewritten in the browser without a large decoder, so it is not yet supported.
Drop the HEIC here to see exactly what it contains (including whether GPS is present), then convert it to JPG or PNG using the Image Converter. The re-encode discards all EXIF, GPS and XMP metadata, and you can drop the result back here to confirm it is clean.
No. Metadata lives in separate segments/chunks from the image data. Removing it rewrites the container only — the compressed pixels are copied verbatim, so quality is identical.
For images: EXIF (including GPS and camera info), XMP, IPTC/Photoshop blocks, and text/time chunks. For PDFs: title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creator, creation and modification dates, and the XMP metadata stream.
Many files exported by web tools are already stripped. If nothing privacy-relevant is present, the file is left untouched and marked clean.
