Frequently Asked Questions
Will removing metadata affect my image quality?
No, removing metadata does not affect image quality. Metadata is stored separately from the image data, so your photo's visual quality remains completely unchanged.
Can I remove only specific metadata fields?
Our tool removes all metadata from your image. If you need to keep some metadata while removing others, use our Edit Metadata tool instead.
Is it safe to remove metadata?
Yes, removing metadata is completely safe. It only removes embedded information and does not modify the actual image pixels or quality.
Will the file size change after removing metadata?
The file size may decrease slightly since metadata takes up some space, but the difference is usually minimal (typically less than 1% of the file size).
Is the metadata remover free to use?
Yes, our metadata remover is completely free. No registration, no watermarks, and no hidden fees.
