Question 1

Why should I strip metadata from images before posting?

Accepted Answer

Images contain hidden EXIF data — camera model, software used, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and more. Some creators believe this metadata can influence how platforms like TikTok and Instagram distribute your content. Stripping or replacing it gives you a clean slate with the algorithm.

Question 2

What metadata does this tool remove?

Accepted Answer

It removes all EXIF, XMP, and IPTC data embedded in your images. This includes camera make and model, GPS location, timestamps, software information, color profiles, and any other hidden data.

Question 3

What does 'Replace with device metadata' do?

Accepted Answer

Instead of just removing metadata, you can replace it with realistic metadata from a real device — iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, or Sony A7 IV. This makes the image look like it was shot natively on that device.

Question 4

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. We don't see, store, or have any access to your files.

Question 5

What image formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF. JPEG images get the richest metadata replacement since JPEG natively supports EXIF. PNG and WebP images will have all metadata stripped.

Question 6

Can I process multiple images at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Drag and drop as many images as you want, or use the file picker to select multiple files. All images are processed in one batch and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

Question 7

Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

The image is re-encoded at 95% JPEG quality (or lossless for PNG). For most use cases, especially social media, the quality difference is imperceptible.
