What information can EXIF metadata contain?

Depending on the source, metadata may include camera settings, capture date, dimensions, and sometimes location. Many apps remove or rewrite some fields.

Does the metadata remover change my original?

No. It creates and downloads a new JPG copy; the selected original file is not modified.

Does stripping metadata preserve the original format?

The stripped copy is exported as JPG, so transparency and some format-specific features are not retained. Keep the original if those features matter.

Are my photos uploaded for inspection?

No. Metadata reading and re-encoding are performed locally in your browser.
