QR64Code first displays supported camera, date, software, and GPS fields locally. It then draws image pixels to a canvas and creates a new JPEG or PNG, without copying most EXIF, XMP, and device metadata blocks.
What changed in this update?
The tool, explanation, limits, sources, and accessible form flow were reviewed together.
How to use it

- 2
Select output format and JPEG quality.
- 3
Download the new file and separately inspect its metadata and visible content before sharing.
Limits and security notes
The displayed field list is not a complete forensic metadata report. Color profiles and some image properties may change during re-encoding; keep the original and verify sensitive results with an independent viewer.
Comparison
| Method | Metadata | Pixel re-encoding |
|---|---|---|
| Copy file | May remain | No |
| Delete fields | Selected fields removed | No |
| Canvas re-encode | Most blocks not copied | Yes |
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove location data?
The original EXIF GPS block is not copied into the canvas-generated file.
Will image quality change?
JPEG can change because it is re-encoded; PNG keeps pixel data lossless but may be larger.
Is the file sent to a server?
Processing stays on your device and the file is not sent to QR64Code servers.
