Why should I clean EXIF before sharing photos?

Original photos may contain GPS coordinates, device model, and capture time. Cleaning metadata first reduces privacy exposure in client delivery, social posting, and public sharing.

When should I use Quick Clean vs Custom Clean?

Use Quick Clean when your policy is remove everything supported. Use Custom Clean when you want selective control, such as removing only GPS while keeping other groups.

Can Custom Clean remove only GPS and keep other metadata?

Yes. In Custom Clean mode, check only the groups you want to remove. Unchecked groups stay unchanged.

Which image formats are supported? What about HEIC/HEIF/AVIF?

Supported formats are JPG/JPEG/PNG/WebP. HEIC/HEIF/AVIF imports are rejected with guidance, so convert them first and then run EXIF cleaning.

Will my files be uploaded? Can it work offline?

No upload is required. Reading, cleaning, and exporting run in your browser locally. After the page assets load, you can continue in offline scenarios.

Why is there an Import More button in the workbench?

Batch tasks are often incomplete at first. Import More lets you append files without clearing the queue or restarting the workflow.

When do I get a single file download vs a ZIP?

If only one file succeeds, you get a direct single-file download. If multiple files succeed, results are packaged as ZIP with traceable exif-cleaned filenames.

Before and after preview for image EXIF clean

Before (Potential risk)

Metadata may include GPS coordinates, device model, and capture time.

After (Safer sharing)

Sensitive EXIF/XMP fields are removed by policy and can be verified in comparison.

Why clean EXIF before sharing images

Prevent privacy leaks early

Remove GPS, device, and time metadata before social posting or client delivery.

Quick and Custom in one workflow

Use Quick Clean for full cleanup, or Custom Clean for selective metadata groups.

Batch processing with failure isolation

Failed files are marked individually, while successful files remain exportable.

Local-first processing

Reading, cleaning, and export all run in your browser with no upload.

How to clean EXIF safely before delivery

Start from the sharing scenario

If photos leave your team boundary, add EXIF clean as a default privacy step.

Upload and append files with Import More

You can add files in batches and append late-arriving files without restarting.

Choose Quick Clean or Custom Clean

Use Quick for full-field cleanup, or Custom for selective removal such as GPS only.

Review before/after and export

Verify metadata changes first, then export. Retry failed items without re-running the whole batch.
