Remove metadata from JPG files
JPEG is the world's most common photo format — and one of the leakiest. Every shot from a camera or phone can carry EXIF data (camera model, exposure, exact GPS coordinates), IPTC captions and keywords, XMP packets, even a plain-text JPEG comment. Share a JPEG straight from your camera and you may be sharing exactly where and when it was taken.

Questions, answered
Will stripping metadata reduce my JPEG's quality?
No. PureClear removes only metadata segments (APPn markers) — the image pixels are never re-encoded. The photo is byte-identical, just smaller and private.
Does it remove the thumbnail preview inside the JPEG?
Yes. JPEGs often embed a small EXIF thumbnail that can reveal the original photo even after cropping. PureClear strips it along with everything else.
What about the date shown in my gallery app?
That date is read from EXIF. After stripping, apps fall back to the file date. The photo itself is unchanged.
