Pixels stay encoded exactly once
The compressed image stream is copied, not decoded and recompressed. A clean file keeps the source visual quality.
Remove image metadata without changing a pixel
See what a photo reveals, remove the hidden blocks in one pass, and keep the encoded image data untouched. Files never leave this device.

JPEG · PNG · WebP
A privacy tool, not another re-encoder
Many “metadata removers” decode the photo and save a new JPEG. That changes pixels, can add compression artifacts and wastes time. ConvertPixel walks the JPEG segments, PNG chunks or WebP containers directly. Rendering data and color profiles stay in place; EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC and descriptive text are removed.
Portrait photos stay upright
When a file relies on EXIF orientation, only that anonymous display tag is rebuilt. Camera, GPS and timestamp fields are discarded.
Batch work remains private
Every file is scanned in a browser worker. Multi-file ZIP creation and tool handoff also happen on this device.
Image metadata questions
Which metadata is removed?
JPEG removes EXIF/GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments and private application segments. PNG removes EXIF, text and edit-time chunks. WebP removes EXIF and XMP. ICC color profiles are preserved because they affect appearance.
Will this reduce image quality?
No. For supported files the encoded pixel stream is copied byte for byte. Only non-rendering metadata containers are removed.
Why can the clean file still contain an orientation tag?
Some phone photos store portrait rotation as EXIF. The cleaner replaces the whole EXIF block with one anonymous orientation value so the image stays upright without retaining personal fields.
