How it works: The image is decoded in your browser, drawn to a hidden <canvas>, then re-encoded to JPEG/WEBP/PNG. Re-encoding drops EXIF and most other metadata (title, author, GPS, etc.).
Quality: Applies to JPEG/WEBP only (0-1). PNG ignores quality and is lossless here.
Orientation: Modern browsers apply EXIF orientation when decoding, so the exported image is "baked" in the correct orientation with no EXIF.
Privacy: Everything happens locally; no uploads.
Best size wins: For photos, WEBP at 0.75-0.9 usually gives the smallest files at high quality. For graphics/logos with flat colors, PNG may be better.
Limits: Very large images can exceed memory limits in the browser. If you see errors, try a smaller image.
Edge cases & notes
Metadata detection: This tool strips metadata at export; it doesn't parse or list EXIF prior to removal.
Color profiles: Canvas export may not embed ICC profiles. Colors typically remain visually accurate in modern browsers.
Alpha: JPEG/WebP lossy will flatten transparency onto a default background; choose PNG or WebP lossless if you need alpha preserved.
