Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF metadata, and why should I scrub it?
EXIF metadata is binary data embedded within your photos by your camera or phone. It frequently includes exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, camera brand, lens type, timestamps, and editing history. Scrubbing it prevents online portals or social media from tracking your physical location or details.
How does the client-side metadata scrubber work?
When you upload an image, our tool draws it onto an offline HTML5 canvas buffer and rebuilds the image pixel grid from scratch. Because the canvas API only extracts color pixels and rejects metadata, exporting the canvas to a new JPEG or PNG completely strips all binary EXIF headers, location coordinates, and camera models locally.
Are my private photos uploaded to any server?
No. Absolutely not. The metadata scrubber runs completely within your web browser's memory using local JavaScript. Your pictures never leave your phone or computer, protecting your security and location data completely.
