Chapter 01

The data hidden in your photos

Every photo carries EXIF metadata: the exact time it was taken, the camera and lens, and often the precise GPS coordinates of where you stood.

That’s useful for your own archive and alarming when posted publicly without a second thought.

NoteA single geotagged photo can reveal your home address. Strip location before posting publicly.
Chapter 02

Stripping metadata safely

Converting a photo re-encodes the pixels and lets you drop the metadata in the process. Keep an untouched original for yourself and share the stripped copy.

Because Convertur runs locally, the photo you’re cleaning never leaves your device on the way.

Chapter 03

Where uploads leak

Upload-based tools add a second exposure: your file sits on a server you don’t control, sometimes for days, subject to terms you didn’t read.

Local-first conversion removes that step entirely — there’s no server copy to leak.
