How do I verify the GPS data is really gone?

You can load the cleaned file back into our 'Image Metadata Viewer' to confirm that zero EXIF or GPS tags remain.

Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No. The cleaning happens 100% in local browser memory.

Does removing metadata affect photo resolution or dimensions?

No. The pixel dimensions, color vibrancy, and visual sharpness remain 100% identical; only non-visual header tags are removed.

Why should I strip metadata before posting photos online?

Smartphones embed precise GPS home coordinates and device serials in photos. Stripping metadata prevents strangers from identifying your physical location.

What is Image Metadata Remover (EXIF)?

Image Metadata Remover scrubs all hidden EXIF, GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, and camera shooting tags from your photos. By repainting the raw image bitmap onto a clean canvas context, it exports an identical image that contains zero tracking data.

Zero-Server Client-Side Guarantee

Unlike legacy online utilities that upload sensitive media and documents to remote cloud storage, Shadow Toolkit executes this entire operation directly within your browser's local runtime. Your raw data never crosses the network.
