## Direct Answers

Question: What is metadata?
Answer: Metadata is information embedded in a file, such as GPS location, camera or device model, software, creation date, author fields, tags, comments, artwork, or container data.

Question: What does ClearMetadata remove?
Answer: ClearMetadata focuses on hidden metadata in photos, videos, and audio files, including EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ID3, GPS fields, comments, source fields, and container metadata.

Question: Does metadata removal reduce file quality?
Answer: Metadata removal does not need to reduce quality because the process can remove invisible fields without changing the visible image, video, or audible audio track.

Question: Are files stored permanently?
Answer: The product is designed around no permanent file storage. Small files can be processed locally when possible; server-side temporary files are removed after processing.

Question: Does metadata cleanup change copyright or make reposting legal?
Answer: No. Metadata cleanup only removes hidden technical fields. It does not change rights, license, consent, ownership, or platform rules.
