About this tool
Drawing a decoded image to a canvas and exporting a new image generally omits metadata such as EXIF, including camera details and location tags. Browser decode and encode behavior varies by format and implementation, so this is not a forensic guarantee or secure erasure method.
Keep the original if metadata matters. Check the output with a trusted metadata viewer before relying on removal for a sensitive workflow.
How to use it
- Select a JPEG, PNG or WebP image.
- Choose an output format and quality where applicable.
- Download the newly encoded copy and verify metadata if removal is important.
Frequently asked questions
Does this securely erase all metadata?
No. Canvas re-encoding generally removes common metadata, but browser behavior varies and this is not a secure-erasure guarantee.
Can metadata affect file size?
Yes. Embedded previews, camera details, GPS and other metadata can add bytes, though pixel data is often the larger part of a photo.
