Privacy Considerations
- Standard mode executes 100% inside your browser memory.
- Zero tracking cookies, zero analytics on file contents.
- Files are completely discarded when browser tab is closed.
Technical Boundaries
- •Metadata removal strips header tags, not visible watermark text printed on pixels.
- •Invisible watermarking methods embedded in latents (e.g. SynthID) cannot be removed via metadata stripping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does metadata removal decrease image sharpness or resolution?
No. By default, ZeroMeta preserves your original dimensions and visually identical resolution. For images, re-encoding defaults to 95% high quality.
Can I clean multiple files at once?
Yes. You can queue dozens of files and clean them in a single batch, then export everything as a single ZIP archive.
