Questions
What does stripping metadata actually remove?
The EXIF block, which typically carries the camera make and model, the exact date and time, the lens and exposure settings, and on a phone photo the GPS coordinates of where it was taken. The pixels are untouched; only the tags attached to them are removed.
Do social networks strip this for me?
Most large platforms do strip EXIF on upload, but not all of them, not on every upload path, and not on the original file if someone downloads it from a link you shared directly. Stripping it yourself before it leaves your device is the only way to be sure.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Metadata Remover runs entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. The file is read from your device, processed on your device, and the result is handed straight back to you. It never travels to a server, so there is nothing for us to store, log or leak.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
It is free with no account and no watermark. Because the work happens on your own hardware there is no per-image cost to us, so there is no quota. The only real limit is your device's memory: images beyond roughly 40 megapixels are refused rather than crashing the tab.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The tools work in any current mobile browser, and the result downloads to your camera roll or Files app like any other download. Very large images are slower on a phone than on a laptop because the processing is genuinely happening on the device.
