I recently realized that I’ve been using some tool a lot: a small web app I built myself to remove EXIF data from images.

yea thanks, totally get it, just shared what i built. idk if it was possible to make the deletion locally in the browser, without making an API func (which is fairly simple yet still remotely used).

also, i deployed it on vercel and these mfs are sketchy and may be logging stuff, so it definitely isn't good OPSEC.

It's definitely possible. It's just not something built-in browser APIs provide.

Personally, the only project I'm familiar with is exiftool, which is written in Perl. After a quick search I found this - https://github.com/lucasgelfond/exiftool-web.

yea thanks, i'll rebuild the thing in a more ethical way for sure

Thanks for sharing anyway :) As long as you learn something from making it, any project has value imo, even if its not used in the end.
