How to Compress Images and Remove Metadata with 100% Privacy

Hi Dev Community,

When managing a website or sharing photos online, optimization and security are crucial. However, most online tools require you to upload your personal images to their third-party servers, which poses a privacy risk.

To solve this problem, I built a completely free web utility suite called PixelPrivacy Tools.

Why is it different?

Everything runs 100% client-side directly within your browser. This means your images never leave your local device, ensuring complete data sovereignty and speed.

Key Features:

  • Smart Image Compressor: Reduce photo file sizes quickly without losing visual quality.
  • Format Converter: Seamlessly switch between popular web image formats.
  • EXIF Metadata Viewer & Cleaner: Instantly view and permanently wipe hidden GPS location and device data embedded in your camera photos before publishing them online.

It is lightweight, has no annoying pop-up ads, and is optimized for quick everyday tasks.

I would highly appreciate it if the community could check it out and share your thoughts, technical suggestions, or features you want to see next!
