Supported format
Inspect supported WebP EXIF and XMP in your browser before using an image in a disclosure. The file can also carry a colour profile, transparency and animation structures. ScrubMetadata distinguishes those structures from supported privacy metadata and checks the output independently. Review the report and processed image before releasing it.
WebP can carry EXIF and XMP inside its RIFF container, including authorship, identifiers or location where present. The same file can carry an ICC profile and separate transparency or animation structures. Inspect each type of structure; the container's feature flags alone do not describe every metadata value.
The supported path removes identified EXIF and XMP metadata and assesses other privacy containers before checking the output independently. Unknown chunks are recorded as unassessed, not assumed to be known private fields. Read the container and residual findings together, then open the processed image before deciding to disclose it.
Image payload, alpha and declared animation chunks are treated as structural content. An independently assessed public ICC profile can remain for colour rendering, while a profile with private data needs a different disposition. The output must still pass its checks; retaining a colour dependency is not a universal fidelity guarantee.
The RIFF size, chunk boundaries and padding must be consistent before the file can be assessed. Unknown chunks or malformed profiles cannot receive a known-field removal claim. Review their disposition and the processed output; the file extension alone does not prove every WebP variation, image size or animation has been verified.
No. The ICC assessor can identify a profile as a rendering dependency, direct privacy data or an unassessed structure. Those outcomes are reported separately.
Yes. EXIF and XMP may coexist with animation chunks. The policy keeps declared frame and alpha structures while assessing the metadata containers; the final result must still verify.
Representative scenario
A publishing team copies a WebP image into a rights-response draft. Inspect EXIF and XMP, then check how any ICC profile was assessed. Open the processed image and review transparency or animation where present before the authorised person decides whether the attachment can be included in the response.
How to review file metadata before disclosureSupported WebP files are inspected and cleaned in your browser. Raw file bytes and raw metadata are not sent to ScrubMetadata servers, and only minimised evidence is recorded after processing.
