Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my image have no EXIF data?
Images downloaded from social media platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp) usually have their EXIF data stripped by the platform automatically. Additionally, PNG files rarely carry standard EXIF camera data. Original photos straight from a phone or digital camera are the ones that contain this data.
How does the scrubbing process work?
When you request to scrub the file, the tool loads the visual pixel data onto an invisible HTML5 Canvas element in your browser. It then commands the browser to save a brand new JPEG file from that canvas. Because only the pixels are drawn onto the canvas, the "data wrapper" containing the EXIF information is left behind and discarded.
Will scrubbing reduce the quality of my photo?
The tool re-encodes the image at a high 95% JPEG quality setting to ensure no noticeable visual degradation occurs. However, because it is a re-encode, it is not a mathematically "lossless" stripping method. For standard web sharing and printing, the quality difference is indistinguishable.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
Never. Both the EXIF reading (using exif-js) and the canvas scrubbing process run entirely locally inside your web browser. Your private location data and photos are 100% secure and never leave your device.
