Frequently asked questions

No. The image pixel data is unchanged. Only the metadata stored in the file header is removed.

What does EXIF contain?

GPS coordinates, camera make and model, date and time taken, lens info, software used, and sometimes artist and copyright.

Does it work on PNG files?

PNG files carry less metadata than JPEG. The tool analyzes available metadata for all supported formats.
