Official standards and scope
The IPTC standard describes photo metadata, the PNG specification defines metadata-bearing chunks, and the HTML Standard defines canvas bitmap export. This page does not inspect metadata fields: it decodes each browser-readable image to pixels and re-encodes those pixels as PNG. Common source-container EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data are not copied through that path, but the page does not audit the generated PNG chunks or prove that every metadata category is absent. Visible watermarks remain, while animation, the original format, and other non-pixel data are not preserved; use it as a practical re-export, not forensic verification.

FAQ
Does it remove EXIF GPS data?
Re-exporting through canvas strips common metadata from supported browser-readable images.
Is Image Metadata Remover free to use?
Yes. You can use it directly in the browser without creating an account.
Does Image Metadata Remover support batch processing?
Image tools with multi-file input can process multiple files. The exact behavior depends on the file picker shown on the page.
Are files or content uploaded?
Image Metadata Remover runs in your browser, so your input or files are not uploaded to DataHub servers.
Can I use Image Metadata Remover on mobile?
Yes, but desktop browsers are better for large files, batch conversion, or long text input.
Why can conversion or validation fail?
Common causes include corrupted files, unsupported browser codecs, very large files, or low memory.
Can I use the result commercially?
The tool only processes your own input. Commercial use depends on the rights of the original file or data.
