Image Privacy & Metadata Studio
Inspect privacy-relevant EXIF categories, generate a canvas-reencoded stripped copy, and verify common metadata signatures before publishing.

JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and browser-readable images.
Mobile processing guidance
On mobile, start with one browser-readable image under 10MB before trying larger files.
25MB recommended limit.; keep very large images under browser memory limits.
Canvas-based image operations can fail when pixel dimensions, file count, or browser memory are too high.
If generation fails, retry with fewer images, smaller dimensions, JPG/WebP output, or lower quality.
Preview and output
Choose an image first
Output appears in the preview panel after processing.
Use the Image Privacy & Metadata Studio to classify common JPEG EXIF privacy risks without revealing coordinates.
It can generate a canvas-reencoded copy and check the output for common EXIF/GPS signatures before you continue.
Photos before sharing
Check for location, device, time, editing, and attribution categories before public upload.
Support attachments
Create a stripped copy before adding screenshots or photos to public tickets.
CMS publishing
Keep the original private and publish a newly generated copy.
Location-risk photo
A JPEG with a GPS pointer is marked high risk while coordinate values remain hidden.
Stripped output
The tool redraws decoded pixels and checks the new file for common EXIF/GPS signatures.
Limit
A clean signature check is useful evidence, not a forensic guarantee for every metadata format.
Overwriting the original
Keep the source file until you have checked and downloaded the stripped copy.
Assuming forensic removal
The verification covers common signatures and cannot prove absence of every proprietary payload.
Expecting RAW support
Use a dedicated desktop metadata tool for formats the browser cannot decode.
Public sharing
Review common privacy categories before posting a photo.
Support and docs
Generate a clean copy before attaching evidence to public records.
Publishing prep
Check, strip, verify, and then continue to compression or conversion.
Original preservation
Leave the source file untouched while creating a separate shareable output.
Does Image Privacy & Metadata Studio upload my image?
The public tool is designed for browser-side processing based on the current implementation. Avoid using sensitive images unless you have reviewed the implementation and your own data requirements.
Will metadata be preserved?
Canvas-based exports usually change or remove metadata. Keep the original file when metadata, color profiles, or exact camera details matter.
Why can a browser image tool fail?
Very large files, unusual formats, limited memory, unsupported browser encoders, or SVG features the browser cannot render can cause failures.
When should I use Image Privacy & Metadata Studio?
Use it before sharing when a browser-readable image may contain privacy-relevant metadata.
