Clear, Verified Privacy Principles
We clearly separate local browser execution from optional server tasks so you always know where your data lives.
Client-Side by Default
In standard mode, all metadata inspection, stripping, and editing occurs directly inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and local WebAssembly. Your media files never leave your computer.
Explicit Server Tasks
Advanced server processing (e.g. sharp image optimizations) only occurs when you specifically select it. Files are processed in memory and never saved to persistent database storage or media caches.
No Persistent Retention
We do not harvest metadata, track uploaded filenames, or store media files. Diagnostic metrics are strictly privacy-conscious and contain zero file content or sensitive EXIF tags.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I remove EXIF data before sharing photos?
Smartphone photos automatically record exact GPS latitude and longitude coordinates, camera hardware serials, and timestamps. Removing EXIF prevents strangers, stalkers, or platforms from locating your home or tracking your daily routines.
Does ZeroMeta reduce visual image quality or resolution?
No. ZeroMeta preserves your original image resolution and pixel dimensions. Canvas re-encoding defaults to 95% high quality, and audio/video processing copies original streams without compression.
Can metadata removal erase visible watermarks or logos?
No. Metadata cleaning strips hidden digital header tags (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS). Visible text or logos drawn into the image pixels are part of the image content. Use our Image Privacy Tools to blur or black out visible elements.
Does ZeroMeta remove SynthID or invisible AI watermarks?
No. Invisible AI watermarks (like DeepMind's SynthID) are mathematically embedded in the pixel distribution, not stored as metadata tags. No metadata cleaner can remove statistical latent watermarks, and claiming so is scientifically false.
Does PDF metadata cleaning remove all hidden document content?
ZeroMeta cleans Document Info dictionaries (/Title, /Author, /Creator, /Producer) and XMP packages. It does not alter text formatting, but does not guarantee removal of deep incremental revision history or visual redactions.
What are C2PA Content Credentials?
C2PA is a cryptographic authenticity standard backed by Adobe and camera makers. Removing metadata from a file with C2PA breaks the credential chain, which is often necessary when whistleblowers or privacy advocates need complete anonymity.
