FAQ

What does this tool actually do?

It opens a Photoshop file (.psd or .psb), removes excessive metadata blocks that Photoshop accumulates over time, and writes a clean copy back. Image data, layers, and effects are untouched.

Is it really free? What’s the catch?

It’s free — no account, no paywall, no hidden tier. The catch is honest: there isn’t one.

Why doesn’t Photoshop’s own “Save As” do this?

Save As preserves the metadata block as-is, including DocumentAncestors. Even “Save a Copy” keeps it. The bloat field has to be stripped explicitly, which is exactly what this tool does.

Where does my file go after I drop it?

Nowhere — it stays in your browser tab. Processing happens in a Web Worker via WebAssembly. There is no backend, no upload endpoint, no third-party service involved in the file handling.

How does it work technically?

The file is read into the browser, processed entirely in a Web Worker using WebAssembly, and written back to a new file — all on your device. Nothing is transmitted over the network.
