does it do anything you can’t do in a photo editor?

Good question! Most photo editors don’t give you full control over all metadata fields, like GPS, device info, timestamps, or custom tags. Also, most people don’t even know how to remove it manually. MetaRefresh lets you strip or edit everything client-side, and we offer an auto-edit mode for convenience.

Even if not, a photo editor is usually nonfree and/or is a pain in the ass to download and install.

Totally, that’s exactly why I made it. No installs, no downloads, and free. Metadata cleanup in seconds, zero hassle.

but if it runs entirely client side, why not just distrubute it as a standalone app?
