Frequently Asked Questions
- What is EXIF data?
- EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is metadata embedded in your photos by cameras and smartphones. It includes information like the camera model, date and time the photo was taken, GPS coordinates, exposure settings, and software used to edit the image. While useful for photographers, this data can reveal your location and device details when you share photos online.
- Is it safe to remove EXIF data?
- Yes, removing EXIF data is completely safe and does not affect the visual quality of your image. Stripping metadata is recommended before sharing photos online to protect your privacy — especially GPS location data, which can reveal where a photo was taken.
- Does this tool upload my photos?
- No. PixVela processes everything directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device and are never sent to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet — the tool will continue to work.
- What image formats are supported?
- This tool supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, and TIFF files. JPEG files typically contain the most metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, ICC). PNG and WebP files may contain limited metadata. HEIC and AVIF support depends on your browser.
- Can I process multiple images at once?
- Yes. You can drop multiple images at once or click to select several files. Each image is processed individually, and you can switch between them using the file tabs. You can also strip metadata from all images at once using the "Strip All" button.
