FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ManageMetadata upload my files to any cloud server?
Never. ManageMetadata is built with pure client-side Web APIs and Web Workers. Your files are processed entirely in your device memory and never leave your computer or phone.
Which file formats are currently supported?
We support JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and PDF documents.
Will cleaning metadata degrade my photo quality?
No. Our upgraded engine uses binary ArrayBuffer segment slicing rather than lossy canvas re-encoding. This strips metadata headers while leaving raw image pixel data 100% untouched.
Can I remove GPS location while keeping my camera settings?
Yes. Our GPS Sanitizer tool selectively removes the GPS IFD pointer while preserving aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and copyright information.
Is batch processing supported?
Yes. You can drag and drop multiple files at once, process them in parallel, and download them cleanly.
