ExifGuard – The Privacy Expert for Your Photos and Videos
Did you know? Every photo you take hides sensitive EXIF metadata: GPS location, device model, capture time. Sharing these photos directly can expose where you live, work and travel — without you even knowing.
ExifGuard wipes hidden metadata from your photos and videos, keeps your personal information safe, and lets you share with complete peace of mind. All processing happens on your device — your photos and videos are never uploaded.

【Privacy Promise】
No backend, no account. Photos and videos are processed entirely on your device, and we will NEVER collect, upload or store your images or personal data.
Only two features touch the network, neither sends your photos: the maps load OpenStreetMap tiles for the region on screen, and Settings → Privacy Policy loads that page in a web view.
【Supported Formats】
• Photos: JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF (HEIC keeps its original format after processing)
• Videos: MP4, MOV, M4V

Ratings & Reviews
5.0
out of 5
1 Ratings
• “Erase all EXIF info” now goes deeper on HEIC and PNG photos — your photo’s orientation and colour profile stay exactly as they are
• Just opening a photo, or running the Privacy risk full scan, no longer touches the file itself
• Photos and videos you save to your library are no longer tagged with a fake (0, 0) location
• In a batch, two results can no longer end up inside one file — and a photo that wasn’t cleaned isn’t counted as done
