Remove metadata
Photos taken with a phone carry the device model, the exact date and often the GPS coordinates of where they were taken. Here they are removed without recompressing the image: quality stays bit-for-bit identical.
Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded
How it works
The file is rewritten skipping the segments that hold metadata — APP1 (Exif and XMP), APP13 (IPTC) and comments in JPEG, the tEXt, iTXt, zTXt and eXIf chunks in PNG. The image data is never even decoded, so there is no quality loss whatsoever: this is a structural operation, not a recompression. The ICC colour profile is the one exception: removing it saves a little more, but colours can shift on calibrated screens and in print, so it is kept by default.
Your files are never uploaded. Anywhere.
Not to a server of ours, not to a third party, never. When you pick a file it stays in your browser’s memory: it is read, processed and written back on your device, and you save the result yourself. There is no path that takes it elsewhere, because there is no server to send it to.
- Processed locallyFormats are handled by WebAssembly code running in your browser, not by a remote service.
- Nothing to upload, nothing to wait forOther services send your file to a server and then send it back to you. Here the file never leaves: there is no upload to wait for.
- No accountNo sign-up, no email, no daily limits to get around by paying.
- No files to deleteOthers promise to erase your files after an hour. We have nothing to erase: they never reached us.
