Take the hidden data out of a photo and get a clean copy back. Every removal is checked against the finished file before it is offered to you, so what the tool reports as gone has actually been confirmed gone. Your file never leaves this page. Everything happens in your browser, and there is no upload endpoint to send it to — that is checked by a build gate that fails if any network code reaches a tool’s bundle.
How to do it
- Add the photos you want cleaned.
- Look at what was found, and untick anything you would rather keep.
- Remove the rest, then download the clean copies.
Questions
What does it keep by default?
Which way up the picture is, its colour profile, any copyright line, and the exposure settings. Removing the first two damages how the image looks; the copyright is something its owner asserted on purpose; and an aperture value says nothing about a person. Everything else — location, device, serial numbers, editing history — is removed.
How do I know it actually worked?
Because the finished file is read back and checked. Anything the tool could not confirm absent is reported separately as “not confirmed” rather than being counted as removed. That distinction is the whole difference between a privacy tool and a privacy claim.
Does the picture itself change?
No. Not one pixel is decoded or re-encoded, and the result panel says when the image data is byte-for-byte identical to what you started with.
What about invisible watermarks and AI content credentials?
This does not remove an invisible watermark and does not claim to. Watermarks of that kind live in the pixels themselves and survive being compressed, cropped and screenshotted. Content credentials are designed so that a stripped manifest can be recovered. What this tool removes is the metadata block, which is a different thing entirely.
