# CleanSlate

> CleanSlate is a native macOS image compressor and metadata remover created by Mihail Salari. It processes images locally without uploads, accounts, analytics, advertising, or tracking.

CleanSlate compresses images, converts supported formats, resizes batches, and creates new output files without copying source EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, camera details, maker notes, comments, or embedded thumbnails.
