What a scrubbed file can still reveal
Cleaning targets supported file metadata, but it does not redact visible pixels or change your filename automatically into an anonymous one. Street signs, recognizable buildings, text and unsupported embedded data may remain.
For JPEG, PNG and WebP, the image payload is not re-encoded. HEIC and TIFF are converted to 8-bit PNG, and removing color profiles may alter appearance. Keep the original in case you need its metadata later.
Frequently asked questions
Is it the same as blurring the photo?
No. Metadata cleaning does not remove or blur information visible in the image.
Can I remove only location?
GPS-only cleaning is not offered in this preview; the tool removes supported metadata more broadly.
Is every field guaranteed to be removed?
No. Some metadata formats or other identifying information may remain.
