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.

Privacy-focused
No upload
Honest limitations
JPG, PNG, WebP

How to use this route

Follow the published workflow step by step and compare the real output before downloading.

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

Supported behavior

The browser handles the work locally, but different formats and export paths still have trade-offs.

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

Good fits for this tool

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

Limits to know

These limits are part of the real implementation and the browser platform it depends on.

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

Common questions about this route and its current behavior.

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.
