The hidden danger

Every photo you share leaks more than you think

Hidden inside every JPEG, PNG and HEIC is a data trail — your exact location, device, timestamp and more. Here's what anyone can extract from an unclean photo.

Why datclean

Built different, by design

Most “privacy tools” upload your files to clean them. datclean never touches your data — it can't, by design.

100% Client-Side

Every byte of processing happens inside your browser. Your images are never read by anyone but you.

No Servers

There are zero servers receiving your photos. No uploads. No API calls. No third-party processing.

Always Free

No subscriptions, no sign-ups, no paywalls. datclean is open source and free forever.

Instant Processing

Using the native browser Canvas API, metadata is stripped in milliseconds — no waiting for uploads.

Privacy First

Built for journalists, activists, healthcare workers — anyone who needs true photo privacy.

Works Offline

Once loaded, datclean requires no internet connection to process your images.

HEIC Support

Full support for iPhone HEIC photos — converted and cleaned entirely in-browser using heic2any.

Batch Processing

Drop tens of files at once. Clean them all with a single click — see per-file metadata before and after.
