Remove image metadata without upload

Browser-based metadata removal usually works by decoding the selected image and writing a new image file without copying common metadata blocks. ConvertUnlimited uses local browser re-encoding for supported image metadata cleanup workflows.

Short answer

Use metadata removal before sharing photos that may include camera, timestamp, or GPS fields. It does not remove visible information inside the image pixels.

What metadata removal can remove

Common photo metadata can include EXIF camera details, timestamps, orientation data, and GPS coordinates. A destructive re-encode can remove many of these fields because the new output file is written from pixel data rather than copied byte-for-byte.

This is useful before publishing images online, sending photos to clients, or sharing screenshots that may contain device metadata.
