How It Works Under the Hood
Inspects and scrubs metadata chunks directly in an in-memory canvas and ArrayBuffer without uploading files to remote servers.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Drag and drop an image file (JPG, PNG, WebP) into the dropzone.
Inspect detected privacy metadata: Camera model, exposure, and GPS coordinates.
Click "Strip All Metadata & Sanitize".
Download the completely clean file instantly.
Key Features & Performance
- High-fidelity canvas sanitization with zero server uploads
- Immediate privacy inspection report based on real file bytes
- Total privacy: Files never leave your local device
Local Browser Processing & Privacy
Traditional web converters upload your documents, snippets, or media files to remote servers. Batch EXIF & Metadata Stripper runs inside your browser tab:
Your input text and files are processed locally without uploading payloads to a processing server.
Microdeck does not log or store the files or inputs you paste into tool workspaces (normal static hosting/CDN requests still load page assets).
Working outputs stay in your browser tab and are released when you reset the tool or close the tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why remove EXIF data before uploading photos?
