About Metadata Remover
Protect your privacy by removing metadata from your photos, before sharing them on the Internet. Features: View metadata Image preview Remove metadata Simple and intuitive interface Share directly from the app Learn more: Whenever you take a picture, additional metadata is saved in the image file. Most smartphones do not inform you about this. Metadata can look like this: On which day was the picture taken, and at what time? And where exactly? Which camera or smartphone was used? What camera settings were used? Notes of the photographer or the camera? More and more often, even exact GPS coordinates are saved in your photo.
