Check both the picture and the information attached to it
An image may contain location, capture time, device, author or editing-software information in addition to visible pixels. This workspace decodes and re-encodes a supported JPG, PNG or WebP without copying the supported private EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, thumbnail and text fields. It is not a tool for erasing visible names, people, addresses or document details. Those may need a separate redaction or editing workflow.
The output preserves normalized display direction, but JPEG re-encoding can be lossy. Inspect the result rather than treating metadata cleanup as a quality guarantee. The page keeps the supported source format selected and does not substitute an unchanged original for a cleaned result. Unknown proprietary blocks should not be claimed as universally removed. A downloaded filename can still reveal personal information even when metadata is absent.
Worked example
A PNG containing a supported private text field can be decoded and exported as a fresh PNG without copying that field. This does not remove a street address visible inside the picture. Likewise, a JPEG with a location field still needs an appearance check after re-encoding. Keep the source under your control; this workspace does not delete or securely erase it.
Local processing and limits
One supported static image is processed at a time. The general input limit is 10 MiB and twelve million pixels; AVIF processing is limited to four million pixels. Unsupported animation, image sequences, HDR and unverified container features are refused. Large images need more memory even when their compressed file is small. A failed operation does not switch to a server-upload fallback.
The browser downloads its own application and codec resources from the same host. Your selected image, result, filename and metadata are not sent to an upload service. Images are not written to localStorage, IndexedDB or a service-worker recovery cache. Reloading the page leaves the image workspace empty. Downloaded files remain under your control; inspect them before sharing.
