    Frequently asked questions

    What metadata does the cleaner remove?

    It removes all EXIF data (camera settings, GPS), IPTC metadata (captions, keywords), XMP data (editing history), and any other embedded metadata.

    Will cleaning metadata reduce image quality?

    When exporting as JPEG (default), the image is re-encoded at 92% quality which may cause minimal quality loss. Choose PNG output for truly lossless, pixel-perfect results. In both cases, all metadata is fully stripped.

    Why should I remove metadata from photos?

    Photos can contain your GPS location, device info, and editing history. Removing metadata protects your privacy when sharing images online or via social media.
