Frequently asked questions

Why should I remove EXIF data before posting photos online?

Photos taken with smartphones contain exact GPS coordinates embedded in EXIF tags. Anyone downloading the raw image can extract the exact street address where the photo was taken. Stripping EXIF protects your physical privacy.

Does PixelKit upload my photo to any server to strip metadata?

Never. PixelKit runs entirely in your browser memory using WebAssembly. Your photos are scrubbed locally and never leave your phone or computer.
