Unlike JPG, PNG has no EXIF block by default, but it can still hold several kinds of hidden data:tEXtandiTXtchunks (author, copyright, software), color profiles (iCCP), and even embedded thumbnails. Screenshots from some tools include the app name and creation time.
Lossless cleaning with transparency preserved
Because this tool redraws the PNG on a canvas and re-encodes it as PNG, the result is lossless — every pixel and every transparent area stays exactly as it was. Only the surrounding metadata is discarded.
Good for
- Screenshots that leak the capturing software or timestamp.
- Graphics with embedded author or copyright text fields.
- Transparent logos and icons you want to ship clean.
Frequently asked questions
Will stripping PNG metadata reduce quality?
No. The PNG is re-encoded losslessly, so image quality and transparency are fully preserved. Only the hidden metadata chunks are removed.
Does it keep transparency and alpha channels?
Yes. Transparent regions and partial alpha stay exactly the same, because the canvas export preserves the alpha channel.
What PNG metadata is removed?
All text chunks (author, copyright, software), color profile references, creation timestamps and any embedded thumbnails are stripped.
Can it process many PNGs at once?
Yes. Drop as many PNG files as you like and they are cleaned together in a single batch.
