Zero Image Server Upload Guarantee

Unlike traditional web tools, GeotagImg operates using a 100% client-side processing architecture. When you select or drag photos into the editor, the files are loaded directly into your local browser's memory. EXIF parsing, GPS geotagging, copyright metadata injection, compression, and watermarking occur entirely on your CPU via HTML5 Canvas and Javascript. Your raw images, modified photos, and embedded coordinates NEVER leave your device or touch our servers.
