About Remove PNG Text Chunks Online

Remove PNG Text Chunks Online is a privacy-first metadata scrubber built for creative teams, marketing departments, and independent makers who ship visuals daily. Competitor tools frequently require uploads or hide what gets deleted; this experience keeps everything local, maps every tEXt, zTXt, and iTXt entry, and translates human readable fields before you confirm removal. The interface mirrors Kadence-inspired clarity with rounded corners, soft depth, and typography tuned for long work sessions, so you always know whether a chunk belongs in production.

The application relies on lightweight vanilla JavaScript to scan the PNG structure, calculate chunk sizes, and preview text safely. Because the data never leaves your device, you stay GDPR and client NDA compliant by default. Fast parsing, an instant before-and-after size delta, and the exclusive chunk audit CSV export let you document every change for regulated workflows without slowing velocity.

How to Use the Metadata Cleaner

Click the upload area or drop a PNG anywhere on the card. The tool validates the signature, inventories the chunk sequence, and highlights text-based entries. Review the keyword and text preview for each row; uncheck anything you want to keep. Press “Download Clean PNG” to save a fresh file with only the approved chunks. Use “Export Chunk Audit (CSV)” when you need a timestamped trail of what lived in the original asset, and “Copy Chunk Summary” to paste findings into project chat or tickets.

Tips for Cleaner PNG Delivery

  • Batch-check compressed iTXt entries; translations often hide inside them even when the keyword looks generic.
  • Pair the byte savings readout with your CDN dashboard to confirm LCP improvements after cleanup.
  • Attach the CSV audit to QA tickets when clients request proof that sensitive annotations were removed.
  • Keep a clean master copy; rerun the same file to verify that future exports from design tools do not reintroduce unwanted text chunks.

FAQs

Does this PNG cleaner run entirely offline?

Yes. Every calculation, preview, and cleanup happens in your browser, so no metadata or imagery is transmitted to any server.

What makes this different from other PNG metadata tools?

Besides the responsive interface, you receive instant chunk previews plus the exclusive ability to export a compliance-ready CSV audit without installing anything.

Can I keep specific text chunks?

Absolutely. Toggle any row to retain important copyright or author data while removing hidden notes, marketing tags, or tool artefacts.

Will the cleaner alter pixel data or color profiles?

Pixel data, color management chunks, and compression remain untouched when you only deselect text-based entries, ensuring visuals stay production-ready.
