Metadata Files Reader
Life Privacy EXIF
$5.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
"Securely analyze, correct, and manage the metadata of your photos and documents. A local auditing tool to protect your privacy."
Take control of the invisible data in your files.
Every photo you take with your iPhone and every document you save contains technical information called "metadata": GPS coordinates of the location where the photo was taken, the exact date and time, the camera model, and even author information.
Metadata Reader is a professional auditing and management tool designed to let you transparently view this hidden data, correct errors, and clean up your files directly from your device before sharing them.
KEY FEATURES:
Transparent Analysis:
Simply import an image from your Photos library or a document from the Files app to instantly and clearly extract its complete structure (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF, and system information).
Geographic Visualization:
If a photograph contains geographic coordinates, the app automatically displays the exact location where the photo was taken on an integrated, interactive Apple Map.
Touch Correction and Editing: Is a date incorrect? Is an author's name missing? Simply tap an allowed value to update, correct, or delete it individually, while preserving the rest of the image.
Complete Protection: If you need to send a document confidentially, use the Total Erase button. The app generates a clean copy of all metadata (Privacy by Design mode) ready to be saved to your camera roll. The app also natively cleans the internal structure of your Microsoft Office files.
Audit Reports:
Export your scan results as a text report (.txt) via the iOS share menu. This is a major advantage for organizing your documents or providing a comprehensive overview of an image's metadata.
SECURITY AND PRIVACY: 100% LOCAL
Respect for your privacy is at the heart of this app. Metadata Reader operates completely offline on your device. None of your files are sent, analyzed, or stored on a remote server.
Share your files with complete peace of mind.
