Why Use MetaShield AI?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is image metadata?

Image metadata is hidden data embedded in image files, such as EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tags. It can include GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time, and even AI generation prompts.

Why should I remove metadata from my images?

Metadata can expose your location, device, and personal information when you share photos online. Removing it protects your privacy and prevents your images from revealing data you didn't intend to share.

Can MetaShield detect AI-generated images?

Yes, the privacy audit inspects images for AI generation tags, such as prompts, model names, and parameters embedded by tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E, and reports them with a confidence score.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation - metadata inspection, privacy audit, and cleaning - runs entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device.

Does the tool remove GPS location data?

Yes, the cleaner strips GPS and geolocation tags along with all other EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and vendor metadata. It also supports batch processing with ZIP download.
