Does the file leave my browser?

No. Inspection and cleaning run locally.

Will image quality change?

JPEG and WebP images are re-encoded at high quality, so their bytes and potentially a small amount of visual quality can change.

Is every possible hidden value removed?

No tool can guarantee that for every specialized file. This removes common embedded metadata and clearly states its supported scope.

About the Metadata Privacy Cleaner

Photos and documents can contain hidden camera, GPS, author, software and creation metadata. Removing it before sharing can reduce accidental disclosure.

Supported images are decoded and re-encoded locally, which strips embedded metadata segments. PDFs have common document-info fields and the catalog XMP metadata stream cleared using a bundled library.

Specialized file structures may contain information outside standard metadata fields, so highly sensitive documents still require an independent review.
