About EXIF Privacy Cleaner
Every photo your phone or camera saves carries a hidden manifest — GPS coordinates down to the meter, the camera make and model, exposure settings, lens serial number, the editing software used, and a creation timestamp accurate to the second. For a portrait it's harmless trivia; for a photo of your child at a park, the apartment you're selling on Craigslist, or a sample image attached to a job application, it's a precise map of where you live, work and travel. Social platforms strip most of it, but file-sharing, email attachments and cloud sync usually don't.
This EXIF privacy cleaner shows you exactly what's inside an image and rewrites it with the metadata stripped. The View action surfaces every tag — camera body and lens, GPS latitude/longitude/altitude (with a Google Maps link so you can see precisely what would have leaked), the date the shot was taken, the editing chain that touched it, and any embedded thumbnails that often retain GPS even after a half-hearted edit elsewhere. The Clean action removes all of it without re-encoding the pixels — image quality stays identical, file size shrinks by the metadata bytes, and a before/after summary tells you exactly what came off (number of tags removed, whether GPS was present, remaining technical tags). For batches, drop up to 20 images at once and download a zip of cleaned originals.
Use it before posting selling photos to a marketplace, before emailing
a portrait to a recruiter, before uploading screenshots from a "where
do I live" angle, before forwarding kid photos to extended family, or
during journalism workflows where source identification through EXIF
is a real threat. Supports JPEG, PNG,
WebP and TIFF, files up to 20 MB each, and
every image is discarded from the serverless function immediately
after the response.
