Why Strip Photo & Video Metadata?

Whenever you record a video or snap a picture with a smartphone or digital camera, the device automatically attaches invisible EXIF, XMP, and QuickTime container tags. This data can expose your exact GPS home coordinates, device serial numbers, and personal editing history. Sanitizing your media safeguards your identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this browser tool and privacy.

How does the Todoal Metadata Remover clean files without uploading them?

All metadata inspection, EXIF parsing, and sanitization happen 100% locally inside your browser's memory using JavaScript and HTML5 APIs. For photos, the image is decoded onto an isolated canvas and re-exported as pristine pixel data with zero metadata. For videos (MP4/MOV), the container is parsed to strip udta, meta, and GPS atoms losslessly without server uploads.

Why does my image show 'Not detected' for GPS or camera model?

Screenshots, downloaded web graphics, memes, and images sent through messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord) or social media (Instagram, Twitter, Reddit) automatically have all EXIF and GPS metadata stripped by those platforms before you save them. Full GPS and camera details appear when uploading direct raw photos from your smartphone camera or DSLR.

What specific metadata does this tool detect and strip?

It detects and purges GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude), camera and phone make/model (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Sony, Canon, etc.), lens models, exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed, f-number), creation and modification timestamps, software tags (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere), and embedded preview thumbnails.

Does it support both images and videos?

Yes! You can inspect and sanitize images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF) as well as video files (MP4, MOV, WebM) up to 500MB directly in your browser.

Will removing metadata reduce the visual quality of my media?

No. Video sanitization is completely lossless because it strips container metadata tags without re-compressing video/audio streams. For images, high-quality canvas re-encoding or lossless PNG output preserves crisp visual clarity.
