Protect your images before you share them online

Every image can contain more information than you expect — location metadata, camera details, timestamps, faces, license plates, addresses, and private background details. NanoImage’s image privacy tools help you prepare images for safer sharing.

Use Remove EXIF Data to strip hidden metadata from photos. EXIF can include camera model, date, time, and sometimes GPS location. Removing metadata is useful before sharing travel photos, personal images, client work, screenshots, or documents online.

Use Blur Image Online to hide information while keeping the overall image natural — faces, addresses, license plates, account numbers, and background details.

Use Pixelate Image Online for stronger visual privacy. Pixelation is common for censoring faces, IDs, plates, and sensitive areas in screenshots.

Use Add Watermark to an Image to protect ownership or discourage unauthorized reuse with text or logo marks.

Image privacy has two layers: visible details and hidden metadata. A complete workflow may require both — remove EXIF data and blur or pixelate sensitive areas. NanoImage emphasizes browser-based processing so privacy-focused users do not need to upload sensitive images to unknown servers.

Common use cases include hiding faces in classroom photos, removing GPS from phone pictures, blurring license plates before posting a car photo, pixelating usernames in screenshots, and adding watermarks to product photography before public sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXIF data?

EXIF is metadata embedded in many photos — camera settings, date, time, and sometimes GPS coordinates.

Blur vs pixelate — which is better?

Blur looks natural for faces; pixelate is harder to reverse and clearly signals intentional redaction. Strong blur or pixelate for text and numbers.

Does blurring remove EXIF?

No. Strip metadata separately with Remove EXIF after visual redaction.

Are privacy tools free?

Yes. Core privacy tools are free with no signup required.

Are my sensitive files uploaded?

NanoImage processes files in your browser where supported — verify with DevTools → Network during processing.
