ExifShield: Photo Privacy

Photos can reveal more than the picture itself. A JPEG may include precise GPS coordinates, capture time, phone or camera model, editing software, camera settings, and creator details.

ExifShield shows those hidden details before you share, then creates a privacy-clean copy entirely on your Android device.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Choose up to 12 JPEG photos with Android's system document picker
• Inspect GPS, capture time, device, software, camera, and creator fields
• Remove EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and JPEG comment containers
• Keep the original files unchanged
• Save verified clean copies to Pictures/ExifShield
• Share cleaned copies with Android's standard share sheet

BUILT FOR PRIVATE, OFFLINE USE

• No photo uploads
• No account
• No ads
• No analytics or tracking
• No developer backend
• No Internet permission
• No broad photo-library or storage permission

PIXELS STAY INTACT

ExifShield removes privacy-bearing JPEG metadata containers without decoding or recompressing the compressed image scan. When needed, it keeps only a minimal orientation value so a rotated photo still displays correctly. Each output is opened and checked again before the app marks it verified.

HONEST FORMAT SUPPORT

Version 1 supports JPEG files only, up to 60 MB each. It does not claim to clean PNG, HEIC, RAW, video, or another format. A photo that contains no recognized private metadata may already appear clean.

Clean copies are stored in Pictures/ExifShield. Uninstalling the app does not automatically delete copies already saved there.
