Remove Metadata from AVIF Images

AVIF stores EXIF and XMP as items inside its container, alongside the AV1-compressed image. BlankAI reads those items and saves a clean copy. Browsers can decode AVIF, but none can encode it from a canvas, so the copy is a JPEG, or a PNG when the image has transparency.

Why the output is not AVIF

Encoding AVIF needs an AV1 encoder, which browsers do not expose to web pages. Rather than ship a large encoder, BlankAI saves a widely supported format. If you need AVIF, convert the clean copy with a desktop tool; it will not have the original's metadata to carry over.

What BlankAI removes, and what it does not

The same rules apply to every file, whatever made it. BlankAI cleans the metadata that travels with a file. It cannot reach anything that is part of the image itself.
