About CleanMyGallery

Privacy-First Philosophy

CleanMyGallery was built on a simple principle: your photos are your business. We believe that cleaning up your gallery, stripping metadata, or converting file formats should never require uploading your personal photos to someone else's server.

Every tool in CleanMyGallery processes your files entirely on your device. We have no servers receiving your images, no databases storing your photos, and no analytics tracking what you upload. Your files never leave your browser.

100% Client-Side Processing

Image Compression

Uses the browser's built-in Canvas API and the browser-image-compression library to resize and re-encode images directly in your browser tab.

EXIF Stripping

Reads EXIF metadata using the ExifReader library, then re-renders the image through Canvas to produce a clean copy without embedded GPS coordinates, camera info, or timestamps.

Duplicate Detection

Computes SHA-256 hashes using the Web Crypto API — a cryptographic hash built into every modern browser. Files with identical hashes are exact duplicates.

HEIC Conversion

Leverages the browser's native image decoding capabilities to convert HEIC/HEIF files to JPEG. Cross-browser WASM decoder support is coming soon.

CleanMyGallery Mobile App

For a full-featured experience — including duplicate photo scanning, contact merging, smart cleanup suggestions, and storage forecasting — download the CleanMyGallery mobile app.

Open Source

The web tools are open source. You can inspect the code to verify that no data leaves your browser. We believe transparency is the foundation of trust when it comes to handling personal media.
