Metastrip - EXIF Remover

Photo, PDF & video metadata

$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

See exactly what hidden data is buried in your photos, PDFs, and videos — then remove them in one tap. 100% offline. Nothing ever leaves your device. 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, or video from your library or files 2. See every piece of hidden metadata, organized by category 3. Tap once to strip it clean 4. Save or share your clean file 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. For videos: location, creation dates, device info, and embedded metadata tracks. Essential properties like dimensions and color profiles are preserved so your files still look perfect. 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 decide what goes. 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, MP4, MOV, and M4V.

What's new in 1.2: • New supported formats: TIFF and AVIF. HEIF and M4V files can now be opened from the file picker. • Detects and removes hidden identifiers: unique image IDs, embedded XMP, maker notes, and data appended after the end of a file. • Video cleaning now also removes GPS tracks recorded during filming. • PDF cleaning clears annotation author names while keeping the annotations themselves. • Files imported from Photos keep their original name and format. • Softer dark theme.
