Usage Advice

Recommend keeping original, export copy for sharing is safer

For transparent background export PNG/WebP/AVIF; JPEG fills with white

Keep page in foreground when processing large images to avoid browser throttling

Blue dot on EXIF panel means no displayable EXIF detected, you can still export clean copy

Export re-encodes image, quality and size may change

Cannot remove only GPS while keeping other EXIF; export removes all metadata

Very large TIFF may cause memory issues or processing failure

HEIC/HEIF/AVIF decoding and performance depends on browser support
