Your photos remember more than you think

Pictures from a phone can quietly carry map coordinates, the precise moment they were taken, a camera serial number and a list of the apps that touched them. Drop yours in to see that hidden layer, then save copies that leave it behind.

What tags along inside a picture

Image files hold little side-pockets of data most apps never display. Some platforms tidy them away on upload; email attachments, chat-app file sends and cloud-drive share links usually keep everything.

Where it was taken

Latitude, longitude, height and compass heading, frequently precise to a few metres. A proud photo of a new hardware wallet on your desk can point straight to your front door.

When, to the second

The capture moment plus your time zone. Line that up with on-chain activity and it becomes a clue tying a person to a wallet.

Which device

Phone or camera model, the lens, and on some gear a body serial or owner name that links many photos back to one person.

An editing diary

App names, the computer it was edited on, and XMP history that can include earlier file names and folder paths.

A tiny hidden preview

EXIF can stash a small thumbnail of the original shot, which may still show the part you cropped away.

How the cleaning works

Your browser decodes just the pixels, paints them onto a blank canvas and saves a new file from that. Only the picture makes the trip; every tag and thumbnail is left behind (a few browsers add a plain sRGB colour profile). We then read the new file again to double-check it is empty.

Questions people ask

Do my photos get sent anywhere?

No. Files are opened with your browser's File API and handled on a canvas in this tab. The only outside code is two open-source libraries fetched from jsdelivr with integrity hashes: exifr reads the tags, fflate builds the ZIP. The page's security policy stops it from contacting anything except its own origin, and that server has no route for receiving files.

Will the picture look worse?

PNGs come out pixel-for-pixel the same. JPEG and WebP are re-saved at 92% quality, which looks identical for everyday photos even though the bytes differ. Wide-gamut colour profiles are dropped in favour of standard sRGB, and any rotation flag is applied to the pixels so the photo stays upright.

What about HEIC, GIF or RAW files?

Tags can be read from most formats, but making a clean copy needs your browser to decode the image. Safari handles HEIC and the result is saved as JPEG. Animated GIFs would lose their motion, so you get a still PNG. RAW files are not supported.

So is the photo totally safe to share now?

The invisible data is gone, but the visible picture can still give things away: a street sign through the window, a reflection, an address on a parcel. Crop or cover those before posting.
