Frequently asked questions

What is photo metadata (EXIF)?▾

EXIF is hidden data embedded inside many photo files: GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, the camera or phone model, the exact date and time, and sometimes a device serial number. It travels silently with the image file whenever you share it, even though none of it is visible in the picture itself. Most people never notice it's there until they check a file's properties or run it through a metadata viewer.

Why remove metadata before sharing?▾

Posting a photo online is safer once location and device details are stripped, since anyone who downloads the image could otherwise extract exactly where and when it was taken. Parents sharing photos of kids, travellers posting from a trip, real estate agents listing a home, and freelancers handing off client photos commonly sanitize images first for this reason.

Who should use this?▾

Anyone posting photos publicly, selling items online, or sending images to someone they don't fully trust with their location. It's also common practice for journalists protecting sources and for businesses removing internal device details from marketing photos.

What metadata is removed?▾

Re-encoding strips common EXIF fields such as GPS coordinates, camera make and model, and timestamps from typical phone and camera JPEGs. Review the output yourself if your situation calls for strict guarantees, since unusual or non-standard metadata fields aren't something this can promise to catch.

Does this change how the photo looks?▾

No, the picture should look the same on screen since only the hidden data block is removed, not the visible pixels. File size may shift slightly because the image is re-saved.

Are my photos uploaded?▾

No. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never sent to Justools servers.

Can I clean multiple photos at once?▾

Yes. Add several images and download one ZIP of sanitized copies, or a single file when you upload just one photo.

Is this the same as blurring faces?▾

No. This tool removes hidden metadata, not visible content. Faces, backgrounds, and everything else visible in the image stay exactly as they were.
