Frequently asked questions
Do smartphone photos really contain my exact home GPS coordinates?
Yes. By default, iOS and Android embed exact GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, and timestamp tags inside the JPEG APP1 header.
How does NextGenToolkit guarantee 100% of EXIF data is gone?
NextGenToolkit decodes only the visible RGB pixel matrix onto a fresh HTML5 Canvas and encodes a brand-new image stream, leaving all APP1, EXIF, IPTC, and XMP byte segments behind.
Are my private photos uploaded anywhere during inspection?
No. Binary header parsing happens inside a JavaScript DataView in your browser tab.
Does stripping EXIF reduce file size too?
Yes, removing embedded color profiles, previews, and XMP packets often saves 15KB to 80KB per photo.
Can I scrub a batch of photos at once?
Yes, drop multiple photos and export all scrubbed images in one ZIP.
