Frequently Asked Questions
Why is removing metadata important before posting photos online?
Photos taken with smartphones often embed precise GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers, allowing strangers to pinpoint your home address or location.
What kinds of metadata are stripped from files?
EXIF camera parameters, GPS latitude/longitude, creator names, software version stamps, editing timestamps, and thumbnail previews are removed.
Does stripping metadata reduce photo image quality?
No. Metadata cleaning operates directly on the header segments of the file without re-compressing the pixel data, ensuring 100% original quality.
