METWIPE KNOWLEDGE BASE

Remove EXIF metadata without re-encoding your JPEG

MetWipe removes supported JPEG metadata application segments while copying the image data itself, avoiding an additional lossy JPEG encode cycle.

What is removed

The current JPEG cleaner targets EXIF/XMP-style APP metadata, IPTC/Photoshop-style metadata and JPEG comments while preserving core image data and common compatibility segments.

Why verification matters

After cleaning, MetWipe scans the generated copy again. If supported metadata is still detected, the tool reports a verification failure instead of pretending the file is clean.

Keep your original

The original photo is not overwritten. MetWipe creates a separate cleaned copy for download.
