About Photo EXIF Metadata & Privacy Risks
Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) is a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras and smartphones. Whenever you snap a picture, the device writes detailed tags directly into the image header. This includes the camera settings (aperture, ISO, exposure), the exact timestamp, and often the exact GPS coordinates.
Why use a local EXIF stripper?
Sending sensitive photos (like family pictures or house captures) to online servers for metadata cleaning is self-defeating, as it compromises your files during transit. Anyuan inspects and strips binary tags locally inside your browser's context. No images are ever uploaded, saved, or exposed to the network.
How to clean your photo metadata
1. Upload Photo: Drag and drop or browse to select your JPEG or JPG photo.
2. Inspect EXIF Info: Review the detected metadata sidebar. You can inspect camera settings, software footprints, and map locations if GPS tags are present.
3. Strip Privacy Tags: Click the Strip & Download button. The tool strips all metadata segments in a fraction of a second and prompts the download of a clean JPEG.
