How to use Remove Image Metadata

  1. Choose a supported source image.
  2. Select the output format you want to keep or create.
  3. Generate the new file locally.
  4. Download the fresh export and verify it independently if you have a high-sensitivity use case.

Supported behavior

  • A new browser-generated file often omits many metadata fields from the original asset.
  • Output format changes can affect transparency and file size.

Best for

  • Create a fresh image export before publishing online.
  • Reduce the chance of keeping camera or editing metadata in a shared file.

Limits

  • Metadata removal depends on browser decoding and re-encoding behavior.
  • This route does not promise universal or forensic-grade metadata stripping.
  • Unsupported source formats are rejected.

Privacy notes

  • The tool does not upload the source file to a NOPPAW server.
  • Blob URLs are revoked when the result is replaced or reset.

Is this enough for highly sensitive material?

Use it as a practical privacy step, but verify the output with your own trusted inspection workflow when the stakes are high.

Why does the file size change after re-export?

The browser generates a new file with its own encoding decisions, so the result can be smaller or larger than the original.
