What Is Lurking Inside Your Smartphone Photos?
EXIF data was invented in 1995 to help cameras store shutter speed and ISO metrics. Today, modern smartphones attach precise geolocation tags accurate down to 3 meters.
Sharing that unscrubbed photo on forums, blogs, or marketplaces reveals your home address and daily routines to anyone with a basic photo viewer.
Client-Side Canvas vs Binary Header Parsing
DocSwift scrubs EXIF metadata by reading the raw image into an in-memory HTML5 Canvas and re-encoding it into a clean, metadata-free JPEG or WebP blob.
Because this operation executes directly on your device, your private photo never traverses the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does stripping EXIF data lower the image resolution or quality?
Not at all! You can set the compression quality to 100% (lossless) to preserve every pixel while stripping only the invisible metadata bytes.
Does DocSwift save copies of my personal photos?
Never. DocSwift operates 100% client-side with zero server uploads and zero logging.
