FAQ โ€” Strip Metadata Free Online Tool

What metadata is removed?

EXIF (camera settings, GPS), XMP (Adobe metadata), ICC color profiles (optional), and software-specific tags.

Does stripping metadata reduce image quality?

No. The image pixels are untouched. Only the metadata blocks are removed. Quality is preserved.

Should I keep color profile (ICC) metadata?

If you're printing, keep it. If you're displaying on the web, you can safely strip it (browsers ignore embedded ICC profiles and use sRGB).
