Remove EXIF from JPEG without recompressing the image

Re-encoding a JPEG to “remove EXIF” often recompresses pixels and quietly lowers quality. A container strip removes metadata segments without rewriting the image data — that is the difference DropMeta aims for on normal JPEG strips.

Steps on /image/: drop a JPEG, strip, then download. GPS and common camera EXIF/XMP are stripped when present; DropMeta re-parses afterward and blocks download if location data still remains.

DropMeta also supports PNG, WebP, HEIC, GIF and BMP on the Image tool. This guide focuses on JPEG quality preservation — normal JPEG strip does not recompress pixels.
