Frequently asked questions
What exactly is EXIF metadata?
Invisible information that many cameras and phones store in a photo: GPS location, camera model, date/time and exposure settings. When you share a photo without removing EXIF, you share that information too.
Is image quality lost when removing EXIF?
No. Only the hidden metadata layer is removed. The pixels of the image remain exactly the same. The file size becomes slightly smaller.
Does this also remove copyright from the photo?
Yes, EXIF also contains fields for author name and copyright. If you intentionally set those in your camera, they will be removed too. Use the tool deliberately.
Are other hidden data also removed?
Yes, besides EXIF, XMP and IPTC metadata fields are also removed — standardised formats for description, keywords and author info used by professional cameras and editing software.
How do I check if my photo contains GPS data?
Use the image info tool to view the EXIF data of a photo. You can immediately see whether GPS coordinates are present.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your own browser. Your image never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, without watermark or account. The site is paid for by ads.

Why in the browser?
PixRust runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your image is never sent to a server — all processing happens locally on your device. This means your photos remain private by design, whether they are personal snapshots or confidential documents. There is no account required, no file size limit, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
