How to use this image tool
Create a cleaned output image by re-encoding pixels in your browser.
How the browser processing works
- Reads the selected image locally.
- Draws the visible pixels to a canvas.
- Downloads a newly encoded image without carrying over typical embedded metadata.
Formula
Cleaned output = visible image pixels re-encoded as a new file.
Example
Remove readable EXIF information from a JPEG before sharing a copy online.
Using your output
Use the cleaned output when you want a new image file that does not carry over typical embedded metadata.
Assumptions and limitations
- Processing happens locally in your browser.
- Some browser or format-specific metadata behavior can vary.
Frequently asked questions
How does this remove metadata?
It draws visible pixels to Canvas and exports a new file, which usually does not carry over typical embedded metadata.
Can this guarantee every hidden field is removed?
Browser behavior can vary by format, so treat the output as a practical cleaned copy rather than a forensic guarantee.
