Remove Image Metadata
This route re-renders a supported image through the browser and generates a fresh output file. That often removes many embedded metadata fields, but it is not presented as a forensic guarantee or a universal metadata scrubber.

Remove Image Metadata FAQ
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.
