EXIF Cleaner – Remove image metadata directly in the browser

Does exactly what it promises: local, drag-and-drop EXIF/GPS stripping with live analysis and support for JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC — no upload and a clear zero-log pitch. Practical and trustworthy for quick privacy hygiene, but browser-side re-encoding can drop ICC profiles or embedded thumbnails and there’s no batch, selective-tag retention, or verification/rollback workflow to make it a daily tool for power users.

EXIF Cleaner – Remove image metadata directly in the browser

Strips EXIF/GPS entirely in the browser so your photos never leave the device — exact behavior you want for privacy-sensitive sharing. The live-sync metadata inspector plus multi-format support (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC) and an explicit zero-upload claim show practical thinking, but this is a well-trod niche and the product doesn't yet address batch workflows, XMP/sidecar edge-cases, or how re-encoding affects color profiles and social-platform recompression. Useful, reliable tooling for the moment-to-moment need, not a game-changer.

EXIF Cleaner – Remove image metadata directly in the browser

Everything runs in-browser and the site actually shows live metadata analysis then strips GPS, camera info and timestamps without uploading — that privacy-first claim checks out at a glance. It’s immediately useful for quick one-off cleans, but power users will notice missing controls (batch mode, selective tag editing, explicit notes on ICC/profile and thumbnail handling) and potential HEIC decoding performance quirks.
