Why we built this — and why it's truly anonymous
We built this tool because most online EXIF removers do exactly what you should avoid: they ask you to upload your private photos to a server you don't control. That's the opposite of privacy. Even when those services promise to delete your file afterwards, you have no way to verify it — and your image already passed through their network, log files, error monitors, and possibly backups.
This tool is different. Your photo never leaves your computer. When you drop a file, the browser opens it locally, parses the metadata locally, removes what you choose locally, and lets you save the cleaned file locally. There is no upload step at any point.
You can verify this yourself: press F12, open the Network tab, and drop a 50 MB photo into the tool. You will see no upload request. The tool only loads its own JavaScript and CSS files once — after that, it works fully offline.
- No upload — files are read with the browser File API, never sent anywhere
- No tracking pixels on your file — your image data is not part of any analytics
- No account, no email, no cookies for the tool — your language preference is stored locally, that's all
- No GPS lookup — we never query a map service with your coordinates; we only display them as text
- Auditable — view-source on this page shows exactly what runs
- Works offline — once the page is loaded, you can disconnect from the internet
