Does removing metadata reduce image quality?

The visible pixels are preserved. The file is re-encoded once (you can choose PNG for fully lossless output).

Why not just crop or screenshot the photo?

Screenshots and crops can retain metadata and lose quality. A proper metadata strip is lossless-in-appearance and verifiable — the output file contains no EXIF at all.

Remove EXIF & GPS Metadata Before Sharing Photos

Every smartphone photo can quietly carry EXIF metadata: precise GPS coordinates of where it was taken, the device model, timestamps, and editing history. Posting such a file publicly can reveal your home address or daily routine.

This tool rewrites your image pixel-by-pixel into a clean file, stripping all EXIF, GPS, and color-profile metadata — and nothing is uploaded anywhere, which matters most for exactly this kind of sensitive file.
