Upload-based converters see everything
Traditional online converters store files on servers, sometimes for hours. That exposes location metadata and personal images to third parties.
Local processing changes the equation
ExactPic processes images in your browser. Re-encoding for compression or resize typically strips EXIF in the output file. Your original never leaves your machine.
