What users say about Metastrip - EXIF Remover
From recent reviews.
About Metastrip - EXIF Remover
Every photo you share carries invisible baggage: GPS coordinates, camera details, timestamps, even your name.
MetaStrip lets you see it all and remove it instantly.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a photo, PDF, book, or video from your library or files — one, or up to 100 at once
2. See every piece of hidden metadata, organized by category
3. Tap once to strip it clean
4. Save or share your clean files
WHAT GETS REMOVED
Location: GPS coordinates, latitude, longitude, altitude
Dates: Creation and modification timestamps
Device & Camera: Make, model, lens, exposure settings, ISO
Author & App: Your name, copyright info, software used
Technical Fingerprints: IPTC, XMP, and other embedded data
For PDFs: author, title, subject, creator application, producer, keywords and dates, the document identifier and earlier saved versions. Scripts stay, listed, so forms keep working. A photo, PDF, video or book attached to a PDF is cleaned and kept; other attached files are removed, and listed first.
For videos: location, creation dates, device info, and embedded metadata tracks.
For EPUB books: author, publisher, series and the tools that made the file, the author and tool stamps
in the table of contents, the hidden fields in each chapter, the metadata inside embedded images, and
the identifier that ties the book to one library. The title and language stay, because a book needs them.
Essential properties like dimensions and color profiles are preserved so your files still look perfect.
SEVERAL FILES AT ONCE
Pick up to 100 files and see what each one carries before anything is removed. Clean them in one go,
then save or share them together, or export the whole set as a single ZIP.
FULL TRANSPARENCY
MetaStrip is not a black box. Before anything is removed, you see exactly what metadata exists in your file,
organized into clear categories with item counts. You also see what stays, and why.
100% PRIVATE
MetaStrip works entirely on your device. No servers. No cloud. No data collection. No account required. We
literally cannot see your files. Your privacy is not a feature — it is the entire point.
WHO IT'S FOR
Journalists protecting sources. Lawyers handling confidential documents. Job seekers cleaning up CVs. Anyone
who wants to share files without giving away more than they intended.
Supports JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, AVIF, PDF, EPUB, MP4, MOV, and M4V.
