Frequently asked questions

Will my photo look different?

No. Only metadata blocks are removed. If you also remove the colour profile, colours may shift slightly on wide-gamut images.

Does this rotate my photo?

Removing EXIF also removes the orientation flag. If your photo relied on it, rotate it with Image Rotator afterwards.
