Photo Privacy: EXIF Remover

Protect your privacy on the go! Strip hidden metadata, GPS location, and camera details from your photos before sharing them online.

Did you know that every photo you take with your phone contains hidden metadata called EXIF data? This data reveals:

📍 The exact GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, and altitude) of where the photo was taken (your home, school, or office).
📅 The precise date and time the image was captured.
📱 Your device's make, model, camera settings, and even the lens serial number.
👤 Author names, copyrights, and software descriptions.
When you upload photos to social media, forums, or send them via chat apps, you might be unintentionally sharing your location and identity.

ExifPurge is your ultimate, 100% offline companion to scrub this sensitive data, protecting your digital footprint and keeping your personal life private.

🛡️ KEY FEATURES
1. ⚡ Batch Offline EXIF Scrubber
Select multiple photos from your gallery and purge their metadata simultaneously. ExifPurge processes all files locally on your device with maximum speed.

2. 🔍 Advanced Metadata Inspector & Compare Mode
Deep Inspect: Tap any photo to inspect detailed EXIF tags, highlighting security vulnerabilities with privacy threat ratings.
Swipe-Toggle Preview: Compare the "Original" EXIF tags side-by-side with a "Scrubbed Preview" to see exactly what will be removed.
Offline Location Radar: Visualize the photo's GPS coordinates on a stylized circular radar target grid.
Native Maps Integration: Open the photo's embed location in your favorite maps app with a single click.
3. 🎯 Location Fuzzing & Time Shifting
GPS Fuzzing: Don't want to strip location entirely? Choose to fuzz GPS coordinates, shifting them within a customizable radius (1 km to 50 km) to mask your exact address while keeping the general area.
Timestamp Offsetting: Obfuscate the exact moment a photo was captured by shifting dates and times forward or backward by up to 24 hours.
4. ✍️ Manual EXIF Tag Editor
Take full control. Modify individual EXIF tags directly in the original file—edit descriptions, add custom copyrights, or tweak capture times manually.

5. 📂 Auto-Clean & Background Folder Watcher
Select folders to monitor (e.g., Camera, Screenshots, Downloads). ExifPurge runs in the background and sends a private, local notification if a newly captured or downloaded image contains sensitive EXIF tags, letting you scrub it instantly.

6. 📝 Smart Templated Renaming
Prevent filename metadata leaks! Automatically rename scrubbed files using customizable naming templates. Use dynamic tokens like {date}, {time}, {num}, and {uuid} (e.g., Purged_20260624_001.jpg).

7. 📲 Quick-Share & Quick Settings Tile
Share Sheet Target: Share photos directly from any app (like WhatsApp, Instagram, or your system Gallery) to ExifPurge to scrub them on the fly and share the clean copies.
Quick Settings Tile: Add the "Quick Scrub EXIF" tile to your notification panel to trigger EXIF purging instantly.
