Questions
Remove Image Metadata FAQ
How does the tool remove image metadata?
The browser decodes the image pixels and creates a new JPG, PNG, or WebP copy without carrying over the original metadata.
Why can the clean image be larger than the original?
The clean copy is re-encoded for privacy. Browser encoding can produce a larger file than the original optimized image.
Does metadata removal change image quality?
It can. Re-encoding may slightly change pixels, quality, file size, color profiles, or other format-specific details.
