About
Create a smaller photo with embedded location and camera details removed before sharing it. One pass first strips private metadata such as GPS and timestamps, then compresses the image so it is easier to send or post. This helps with information hidden inside the file and with oversized attachments, while keeping the visible picture usable for ordinary viewing. Both steps run in your browser, and the photo stays on the device throughout this job. The result is a separate sharing copy, so the original remains available. Visible details in the scene are not concealed, and compression can soften fine detail, so inspect the downloaded image before publishing it.

- Prepare a photo taken at home before sharing it in a public group.

Frequently asked questions
What does this job do to the photo?
It removes embedded metadata first, then compresses the image into a smaller sharing copy. The visible content remains, although compression may reduce fine detail.
Does it hide faces, addresses, or license plates?
No. This job does not blur or redact visible content. Review the scene for faces, documents, screens, house numbers, and other details before sharing.
Will I still have the original photo?
Yes. The cleaned and compressed result is downloaded as a separate file, so the original stays available on your device.
Is removing metadata enough for safe sharing?
It reduces information embedded in the file, but safe sharing also depends on the visible image, the audience, and what the receiving service records or adds.
