A visual example
Metadata and visible content are different
Removing a supported metadata field does not erase information inside the photograph.
- Example JPEG
Image pixels
GPS in EXIF
Street name in the picture
Review the original
Suppose a JPEG has GPS data in EXIF and a street name visible on a sign.
- Checked: Selected GPS data removed
- Unchecked: Visible street name removed
Verify the selected change
Choose the relevant supported metadata removal. Review its coverage and the checked copy before downloading.
Metadata cleanup is not anonymisation. Faces, signs and other visible clues remain.
Illustrative example. Illustrative supported-field example, not a report about your file. Unknown structures or rendering effects may require review or block export.
How to use it
- Select a JPEG and inspect its coverage matrix; your original stays unchanged.
- Review the metadata families found, unsupported structures and display-related information.
- Choose the removable families and confirm the explained effects before creating a copy.
- The copy is read again and its image coding is compared. Review the result, then download the verified JPEG and optional report.
A GPS-bearing EXIF block can be removed while a valid orientation value is retained separately. An unknown metadata container is not silently treated as clean.
Details & limits
One JPEG, up to 10 MiB, 20 megapixels and 8,192 pixels per side. Explicit family coverage and rendering-impact confirmation. Unknown or malformed structures can block export. PDF, Office, visible content and forensic anonymity are not checked.
Does removing metadata anonymize the picture?
No. Faces, visible names, locations and other clues in the image remain. The tool reports only its stated JPEG metadata coverage; it does not guarantee anonymity, remove visible content or inspect PDF and Office files.
