Frequently asked questions
What metadata can AI Metadata Checker inspect and remove?
AI Metadata Checker checks common image metadata groups such as EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC, and C2PA so you can review and remove the groups that matter for privacy or publishing.
Does removing metadata change image quality?
Metadata cleanup is designed to remove descriptive information stored in the file, not the visible pixels, although you should still verify critical outputs before final distribution.
Why should I remove metadata before publishing an image?
Metadata can reveal device details, timestamps, location data, editing history, or provenance signals that you may not want to expose on public websites, marketplaces, or social posts.
