FAQ
Common questions
Does removing PNG metadata change the visible image?
The tool re-exports the decoded pixels at the same image dimensions. Its purpose is to avoid carrying over source textual metadata, not to edit the picture content.
Is every possible PNG chunk guaranteed to disappear?
The original ancillary text chunks are not copied because a fresh PNG is encoded from pixels. The browser encoder can still write its own technical color or encoding information.
Which PNG metadata is removed?
The browser canvas export creates a new PNG from decoded pixels rather than copying the original ancillary text metadata chunks. Some browser-managed color information may be written by the encoder.
Is my PNG uploaded to a server?
No. The image is processed locally in your browser.
