Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about EXIF metadata, GPS coordinates, and lossless photo cleaning.
Does Pinatool upload my photos to any server?
No. Inspection, metadata stripping, verification, and file generation run 100% locally in your web browser. Your images and personal metadata are never uploaded to any remote server or third party.
Does removing metadata reduce image quality or re-compress pixels?
No. Unlike tools that redraw and re-compress your picture, Pinatool cleans the file headers directly and leaves the compressed image pixels completely untouched.
Will cleaning metadata flip or rotate my photos?
No. If your photo relies on an orientation setting (common in smartphone photos), Pinatool keeps the display orientation intact so browsers and apps continue displaying your photo right-side up without keeping any camera or location data.
What types of metadata are stripped?
The "Remove private metadata" mode strips GPS location coordinates, date/time timestamps, camera maker and model, lens serial numbers, software tags, author names, copyright notices, and embedded comments while preserving color profiles and orientation.
Which image formats are supported?
Pinatool supports JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), and WebP (.webp) files.
Can I download a report of what metadata was found?
Yes. The Detailed Metadata tab provides one-click options to copy a structured JSON report or download it as a .json file containing all recognized metadata tags.
