Your photo knows where you live.
Phone photos often carry GPS coordinates, the exact time, your camera's serial number and the apps you used. Drop them here to see it all, then download clean copies.
More than pixels.
Image files carry side-blocks of data that most apps never show you. Sites like X and Telegram strip most of it on upload; email attachments, Discord files, Google Drive links and "send as file" often don't.
GPS location
Latitude, longitude, altitude and direction — often accurate to a few metres. A photo of your new hardware wallet, taken at home, can give away your home.
Exact time
Capture time with time zone. Lined up with on-chain activity, timestamps help connect a person to a wallet.
Device identity
Phone or camera model, lens, and sometimes a body serial number or owner name that ties several photos to one person.
Software trail
Editing apps, host computer names and XMP edit history — sometimes including original file names and folders.
Thumbnails
EXIF can embed a small preview of the original image — which may still show what you cropped out.
How we strip it
We decode the pixels and re-encode them on a canvas. Only the image survives: every metadata block and thumbnail is dropped (some browsers add a generic sRGB colour profile back). Then we re-scan the clean file to prove it.
Good to know.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Files are read with the File API and processed on a canvas in this tab. The only outside code is two open-source libraries loaded from jsdelivr (exifr to read metadata, fflate for the ZIP), pinned with integrity hashes. The page's Content-Security-Policy blocks it from sending data anywhere but its own server, which has no upload endpoint.
Does stripping reduce quality?
PNG stays pixel-identical. JPEG and WebP are re-compressed at 92% quality, which is visually the same for normal photos but not bit-identical. Wide-gamut colour profiles are dropped and the image is saved as standard sRGB. Rotation from the EXIF orientation tag is baked into the pixels so the photo still shows the right way up.
What about HEIC, GIF, RAW?
We read metadata from most formats, but cleaning needs your browser to decode the image. Safari can decode HEIC; the clean copy is then saved as JPEG. Animated GIFs would lose their animation, so they're saved as a still PNG. RAW files aren't supported.
Is the picture itself safe now?
Metadata is gone, but the pixels can still say a lot: a street sign out the window, a reflection, a screen with your address. Cover those with ShotBlur before posting.
