Why use remove image metadata?
Re-export an image to omit embedded metadata. Photo Peanut keeps this workflow focused: select a compatible image, make the change, inspect the preview, and explicitly download the result. Your original file is never overwritten.
Because the pixels are processed with browser canvas APIs, there is no upload wait and no image-processing server in the standard workflow. Performance depends on your device, browser, file dimensions, and available memory.
How to use Remove Image Metadata
- Choose or drop a JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP file into the workspace above.
- Review the original dimensions and file size before changing settings.
- Adjust the visible controls and inspect the live preview.
- Select an output format and quality where the format supports it.
- Use the download control to save a new file to your device.
Supported formats and useful cases
The tool accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP images when the browser can decode them. It is useful for remove exif, strip metadata, privacy, everyday sharing, publishing workflows, school projects, and preparing visual assets for websites or apps.
Privacy and processing
Standard editing runs locally. Photo Peanut does not send the selected image to its own server because this static website has no image-processing backend. If the owner enables optional advertising or analytics, those providers may process browser or device data according to consent choices and their policies; the editor does not intentionally pass them image contents or filenames.
Limits to keep in mind
Very large images can exceed mobile memory or browser canvas limits. Files are limited to 25 MB and 12,000 pixels on either side. Browser re-encoding usually removes embedded metadata and may not reproduce every color-profile detail exactly.
Tips for a cleaner result
- Keep the original file until you have checked the downloaded result.
- Use PNG for transparency, JPG for photographs requiring broad compatibility, and WebP for efficient web delivery.
- Preview text and fine lines at 100% when quality matters.
- Process a smaller copy first on memory-constrained phones.
