Safe Image Changer

Safe Image Changer resizes your images and strips privacy-sensitive metadata — entirely inside your browser. No uploads, no servers, no data collection. WHY USE IT Photos taken on phones and cameras often carry hidden EXIF data: GPS location, the exact date and time the photo was taken, camera/device model, and more. Sharing an unprocessed photo can unintentionally reveal where you live, work, or travel. Safe Image Changer removes all of that before you share. KEY FEATURES ✓ Complete EXIF removal - GPS location data - Capture date and time - Camera/device information ✓ Other metadata removed too - IPTC data - XMP data ✓ Image resizing - Custom width and height - Automatic aspect-ratio calculation - Quality control (10–100%) ✓ Capture the current tab - Grab a screenshot of the visible part of any tab, with one click, a right-click menu item, or a keyboard shortcut - The captured image flows straight into the same privacy-safe resize/metadata-removal pipeline - Capture only happens when you explicitly trigger it — never automatically ✓ One-click workflow - Drag and drop, or click to upload - Live before/after comparison preview - Instant download — no accounts, no sign-in ✓ 100% local processing - All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API - Your images are never uploaded or transmitted anywhere - Works fully offline ✓ Multi-language interface - Automatically displays in Japanese or English based on your browser's language PRIVACY BY DESIGN Safe Image Changer does not collect any user data. No images, no personal information, no browsing activity — nothing leaves your device. The only thing stored locally is your preferred compression quality setting (a single number), saved in Chrome's local storage so you don't have to re-enter it every time. You can clear this at any time by clearing your browsing data. PERMISSIONS USED - storage: saves your quality setting (0–100%) locally on your device - sidePanel: displays the detailed before/after comparison view - activeTab: lets you capture the tab you're currently viewing, only when you explicitly ask (button, right-click menu, or keyboard shortcut) - contextMenus: adds a single right-click menu item to trigger a capture No host permissions are requested, and this extension does not request or need access to "all your data on all websites." It cannot and does not connect to the internet. Perfect for anyone who wants to share photos (or screenshots) safely on social media, marketplaces, forums, or with people they don't fully trust — without leaking location or device details.
