EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata recorded automatically by digital cameras and smartphones, storing capture time, camera settings, and GPS coordinates.

Does removing EXIF rotate my photo if orientation tags are stripped?

Our tool bakes the correct physical orientation into the canvas pixels before clearing the EXIF orientation tag, ensuring your photo never flips sideways.

Can I remove EXIF data from WebP and TIFF images as well as JPEGs?

Yes. The tool supports EXIF removal across JPEG, WebP, TIFF, and PNG image containers.

Is the removal process permanent?

Yes. Once downloaded, the cleaned image file no longer contains any traceable camera or location records.

Are photos uploaded to a server?

No. All EXIF parsing and byte stripping run entirely inside your web browser.

What sensitive information is recorded in camera EXIF tags?

EXIF tags record your exact GPS coordinates, date and time of capture, camera brand, lens serial number, shutter speed, exposure settings, and unique device IMEI identifiers.

Does removing EXIF metadata alter the date or file name on my computer?

The downloaded cleaned image receives a new clean timestamp, while all internal embedded metadata fields are erased, preserving privacy without altering visual photo quality.
