Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF metadata in digital photos?

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is embedded data recorded by cameras and smartphones. It stores capture timestamps, camera settings like ISO, shutter speed, aperture, hardware serial numbers, and exact GPS coordinates where the photo was taken.

Is my image uploaded to any server for metadata extraction?

No. Your files never leave your computer or phone. All cryptographic hashing, EXIF parsing, color analysis, and metadata stripping are performed 100% locally inside your browser via client-side JavaScript APIs.

Why do some images from WhatsApp or social media show no camera details?

Major messaging and social platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook automatically re-encode and compress uploaded pictures. This process deliberately strips out EXIF tags and GPS coordinates to protect user privacy and minimize data transfer.

How does the metadata cleaning feature protect personal privacy?

The metadata cleaner re-renders your image on an isolated HTML5 canvas surface and re-encodes only raw pixel data. This completely destroys all hidden EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags, preventing third parties from discovering your identity, devices, or residence.

Can I locate where a picture was taken using this tool?

Yes. If the photograph was captured on a GPS-enabled camera or smartphone with location services enabled, this tool decodes the latitude, longitude, and altitude and offers direct map navigation links to Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
