Why remove metadata from your photos?

Every photo taken with a modern smartphone or digital camera contains hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, camera details, timestamps, and sometimes even your name. This data is embedded automatically and most people never realize it's there.

When you share photos by email, cloud storage, messaging apps, or upload them to websites, this metadata often travels with the image. While some social media platforms strip metadata on upload, many sharing methods preserve it completely.

The privacy implications are significant. A photo taken at home reveals your home address. Photos over time reveal your daily patterns. For journalists, activists, and domestic abuse survivors, this data can be genuinely dangerous.

MetaStrip removes all hidden metadata from your photos instantly, directly in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server — processing happens entirely on your device.
