Remove metadata from GIF files
GIFs feel like 'just animations' — but the GIF89a spec allows comment extensions and application extensions, and modern tools embed XMP metadata in GIFs too. That meme you exported from Photoshop can carry authoring-tool fingerprints, timestamps and software version strings.

Questions, answered
Do GIFs really have metadata?
Yes. Comment blocks and XMP packets are valid in GIF89a, and editors like Photoshop write them. They're invisible in playback — but trivially readable in the file.
Will my animation still loop?
Perfectly. Frame data, delays and loop counts are image data, not metadata — they're preserved exactly as they were.
What about the color palette?
Untouched. Only descriptive metadata is stripped; the global and local color tables stay identical.
