Why Metadata Privacy Matters

Images often contain more information than you realize:

  • Location tracking - GPS coordinates reveal where photos were taken
  • Device fingerprinting - Camera serial numbers can identify your device
  • AI disclosure - C2PA metadata automatically labels images as AI-generated
  • Editing history - XMP data shows what software you used

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata does this remove?
We remove EXIF data (camera info, timestamps, GPS), XMP data (editing history), IPTC data (descriptions), C2PA Content Credentials, AI generation parameters, and all other embedded metadata.
Does removing metadata affect image quality?
No, metadata is stored separately from the image pixels. Removing it does not change how the image looks.
Will this remove GPS location data?
Yes, all location/GPS data embedded in EXIF is completely removed for your privacy.
Is this different from watermark removal?
Yes, metadata removal handles data stored in the file. Watermarks like SynthID are embedded in the actual image pixels and require different processing.
