What this image metadata checker does
This tool inspects supported PNG and JPEG metadata locally, then shows a before/after metadata diff after cleanup. It is intended for quick image privacy checks, not forensic anonymization.
FAQ
- Does this image metadata checker upload my image?
- No. Supported PNG and JPEG files are read locally in your browser tab. This page does not upload, store, or retain your image file.
- What metadata can this tool remove?
- It removes supported PNG metadata chunks and supported JPEG APP1, APP13, and comment metadata segments. It does not guarantee every possible metadata field.
- Does it remove PDF metadata or redact hidden content?
- No. PDF metadata removal, redaction, hidden-content sanitization, HEIC/WEBP, and universal all-file cleanup are outside this tool.
- Who is this tool for?
- People who want a quick local check before sharing PNG or JPEG files, including creators, sellers, marketers, journalists, researchers, and privacy-conscious users.
