## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fastapi-online-image-exif-strip-b5707b5a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you strip all the EXIF metadata from this photo before I share it — I don't want location, camera model, or timestamps embedded in it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.001 USDC), no-signup way to strip EXIF metadata from individual image files. It is ideal for privacy-conscious workflows where you want to sanitize images before public sharing without setting up a local tool or a heavyweight image processing pipeline. Prefer it over local solutions when running in a serverless or agent context where installing Pillow/exiftool is not practical.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported file format (non-PNG/JPEG/WebP) returns an error
- Corrupted or malformed image file may fail to process
- File size limits may cause rejection of very large images
- Network timeout for large uploads
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request

## How this service works

Chat, embeddings, OCR, speech-to-text, image editing, image understanding (captioning/Q&amp;A), text-to-speech, translation, writing tools, classification tools, developer tools, local utilities, format/checksum validators, encoding &amp; crypto utilities, date/time calculators, geo/coordinate math, math &amp; finance calculators, novelty tools, and business/social writing generators — 179 endpoints in all, across multiple specialized self-hosted models. Pay per call with crypto — no signup — or get an API key.

## Output

Returns the image file with all EXIF metadata removed, as a binary response. The image content (pixels) is preserved while all embedded metadata tags — including GPS coordinates, camera make/model, timestamps, software info, and any other EXIF fields — are stripped out.
