Strip Image Metadata is a narrow tool on purpose
Export a fresh image copy whose pixel content is retained while embedded metadata is removed.
Metadata is separate from what you see on the page
JPEG and PNG files can carry embedded information such as location, timestamps and software history. Exporting a clean image copy can remove supported metadata, but it does not hide anything photographed in the picture itself.
Re-encoding can change file size and compression even when the picture looks unchanged.
prepare images for privacy-conscious sharing
One straightforward use is to prepare images for privacy-conscious sharing. Another is to remove camera and GPS data before publishing. The common thread is that the input already contains the information the tool needs.
When Strip Image Metadata isn’t the right endpoint
If private information is visible in the image, use an image editor to remove it. Metadata removal does not obscure an address, a face or a document photographed in the frame.
