Questions
What does it remove?
From JPEGs: EXIF (camera, settings, date and GPS location), XMP, IPTC/Photoshop data and comments. From PNGs: EXIF, text chunks and the last-modified time. The colour profile is kept so colours don’t shift.
Does it reduce quality?
No. The picture data is copied byte for byte; only the metadata blocks are cut out. Tested with sample photos: the cleaned files decode to exactly the same pixels.
Why is one EXIF item kept on some phone photos?
Phones often store a photo sideways with a flag saying how to turn it. Removing the flag would show the photo rotated, so that one flag is kept and nothing else.
Which files work?
JPEG and PNG. HEIC photos aren’t supported here yet: convert them to JPEG first.
