Field notes
The cleaner presents a local inspect–strip–verify workflow: it reads EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, camera, document, and Office-property fields, generates a separate file, and checks the result before download. The supported scope extends beyond common photo formats to HEIC, MKV, FLAC, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX, with a displayed 250 MB limit. The page attributes the browser-only operation to client-side JavaScript and WebAssembly.
