Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about metadata privacy and file cleaning.

What specific metadata does ExifX remove? ?
ExifX performs a "nuclear" clean of your files. We remove EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data. This specifically includes:
  • GPS Coordinates: Latitude, longitude, altitude, and heading.
  • Device Info: Camera make/model, serial numbers, and lens data.
  • Author Data: Copyright, creator names, and owner information in PDFs/Docs.
  • Software History: Edits made in Photoshop, Lightroom, or other editors.
  • Embedded Assets: Thumbnails, audio notes, and color profiles.
What is EXIF data and why is it dangerous? ?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing hidden information inside image files. While useful for photographers, it can be a privacy risk. It often reveals exactly where you live (Geo-tagging), the exact time the photo was taken, and unique device identifiers that can link a photo back to you.
Which file formats do you support? ?
We support the widest range of formats on the market.

Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, BMP, TIFF, ICO.
iPhone/Mobile: HEIC, HEIF.
Vectors/Design: SVG, EPS.
Documents: PDF, DOCX (Word), XLSX (Excel), PPTX (PowerPoint).
Video: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, WEBM, FLV, 3GP.
Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A.
Will cleaning metadata reduce my image or video quality? ?
No. ExifX uses a "lossless" stripping process. We surgically remove the text headers (metadata) from the file structure without touching or re-compressing the actual pixel or audio data. Your files remain pixel-perfect, just lighter and safer.
Can I bulk remove metadata from multiple files? ?
Yes. Our premium Monthly and Yearly plans support Batch Processing. You can upload huge queues of images, videos, or PDFs and clean them all simultaneously with priority processing speeds.
How long do you keep my files? ?
Files are processed temporarily and cleaned outputs are deleted after download or automated cleanup. ExifX is not designed as a file archive.
Does this work on iPhone or Android? ?
Yes. ExifX runs entirely in your web browser. You can scrub metadata from photos taken on your iPhone (HEIC/JPG) or Android device directly from your mobile browser before sharing them on social media.
