Why use this tool?
Photos can contain camera model, editing software, timestamps and sometimes location metadata.
Removing metadata before sharing can reduce unnecessary exposure of personal or workflow information.
This tool is intentionally simple: create a clean copy without sending the original photo to a remote service first.
How local processing works
The image is redrawn locally and exported as a new file. This avoids copying the original metadata blocks into the output.
The website still loads from PrivateConverts, but the selected file is handled by browser APIs on your device for this supported tool. In Developer Tools, local previews and downloads can appear as blob URLs; those are temporary browser objects, not server uploads.
Before converting private files
If a file contains personal photos, screenshots, client previews, location data or private notes, check whether the converter needs an upload. For this supported PrivateConverts tool, processing is designed to happen locally in your browser.
