What types of metadata are removed by this tool?

It excises APP1 (EXIF and XMP metadata including GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers), APP13 (IPTC/Photoshop tags), embedded comments (COM), and PNG text chunks (tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, eXIf).

Will stripping metadata reduce image visual quality?

No. The sanitization process only removes auxiliary metadata headers and comments. The underlying pixel image data (SOS scan / IDAT stream) is completely untouched.

Do my images get uploaded to a server for processing?

Never. The byte parser and segment stripper execute 100% in your device's private local memory sandbox with zero network requests.
