EXIF Remove

• Remove or scramble photo metadata before sharing, with configurable templates
• EXIF Remove strips metadata from photos and videos before you share them, so you don't hand over your location, the time a photo was taken, or the device that took it.
• Share files to EXIF Remove from any app, pick a template, and pass the cleaned copies on. Or open the app and pick files directly.
• Templates control what happens to each category:
• Location (GPS): keep, remove or randomize * Date and time: keep, remove or randomize * Camera, software and author info: keep or remove * Other metadata: keep or remove
• Three built-in templates come ready to edit: Remove everything, Remove location only, and Scramble location and date. Add your own, set a default, and skip the picker to clean in one tap.
• What gets cleaned
• JPEG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without re-encoding, so the pixels are untouched. HEIC and AVIF are converted to clean JPEGs. Videos (MP4, MOV and 3GP) are cleaned in place, also without re-encoding, so even large recordings finish instantly.
• XMP, IPTC, comments and embedded thumbnails are always removed. ICC color profiles are kept, so colors never change. Cleaned files can be given random names, because file names leak information too.
• Phones also hide whole files after the end of an image: a motion photo's video, an Ultra HDR gain map, a second copy of the picture. Each carries its own record of where you were and what device you own. EXIF Remove drops those as well.
• See what was removed
• After each clean you get a report for every file: what was removed, what was kept, and what was hidden inside. Each cleaned image is then re-parsed from scratch and withheld if it cannot be proven free of metadata.
• The built-in metadata viewer lets you inspect any photo or video yourself and preview exactly what a template would do to it.
• No network access: the app does not request the internet permission, so Android blocks it at the system level. No tracking, no ads. Free software under the GNU GPL v3 or later.
