Image Privacy: What You Need to Know

Digital photos contain hidden data that can reveal your location, device, and identity. When converting images, protecting this information is just as important as protecting the image itself.

Image Privacy: What You Need to Know

EXIF Metadata

Every photo contains EXIF data including GPS coordinates, device model, timestamp, and camera settings. Many online converters preserve this data.

Location Exposure

GPS coordinates in photos can reveal your home address, workplace, or travel patterns. Always strip EXIF data before sharing photos online.

Remove EXIF Offline

Our EXIF remover strips all metadata from images locally. The cleaned image never leaves your browser.
