About Metastrip - EXIF Remover
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, book, or video from your library or files — one, or up to 100 at once 2. See every piece of hidden metadata, organized by category 3. Tap once to strip it clean 4. Save or share your clean files 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, the document identifier, earlier saved versions and scripts. A photo, PDF, video or book attached to a PDF is cleaned and kept; other attached files are removed, and listed first. For videos: location, creation dates, device info, and embedded metadata tracks. For EPUB books: author, publisher, series and the tools that made the file, the author and tool stamps in the table of contents, the hidden fields in each chapter, the metadata inside embedded images, and the identifier that ties the book to one library. The title and language stay, because a book needs them. Essential properties like dimensions and color profiles are preserved so your files still look perfect. SEVERAL FILES AT ONCE Pick up to 100 files and see what each one carries before anything is removed. Clean them in one go, then save or share them together, or export the whole set as a single ZIP. 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 also see what stays, and why. 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, EPUB, MP4, MOV, and M4V.
What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated October 19, 2026
• Photos: spatial photos stay spatial after they're cleaned. • Photos: the result says when a picture had to be re-encoded. • PDFs: protected PDFs that keep their protection now get a new document identifier too, and forms with emoji in them no longer grow each time they're cleaned. • Videos: field names such as Title and Comment now appear in your language, and an encoder name or vendor that points to a camera or app is now listed as kept. • Closing a screen while a file is still being prepared to save or share now cancels it quietly. • Cancel stops a batch straight away, including files that are already being cleaned. • VoiceOver now announces the result when one file is cleaned, and cleaning several files ends with a warning haptic when some of them fail. • VoiceOver reads out messages such as “Saved to Photos”. • The share sheet shows a clear file icon for PDFs, books and videos. • Messages after saving or copying a cleaned file sit below the Dynamic Island. • Stability and reliability improvements throughout.
