## What is Metadata Cleaner?

Share the file, not the trail.

Metadata Cleaner is a private preflight for photos, Live Photos, videos, and documents. Inspect hidden data, choose what should stay, create a clean copy, then scan the result again before you send it.

INSPECT WHAT IS HIDDEN

- GPS coordinates and location names
- EXIF, XMP, IPTC, camera, lens, device, and date fields
- QuickTime and video container metadata
- C2PA and Content Credentials provenance, including validation status
- PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX document properties
- An assistive on-device Visual Privacy Check for faces, contact details, addresses, and codes

CLEAN WITH CONTROL

- Keep the original unchanged while exporting a separate clean copy
- Use Private Share, Creator Delivery, Archive Copy, or your own cleaning profile
- Clean batches in the app or from the system Share Sheet
- Use Shortcuts, the home-screen widget, Files, Finder, and drag and drop
- Audit exact location exposure across your photo library with Privacy Posture
- Cover selected visible regions with opaque redaction in a separate copy
- Preserve a Live Photo pair when both rebuilt resources and pairing evidence verify; disclose a still-only fallback otherwise

VERIFY THE RESULT

Every completed export is re-scanned. The verification report shows what was removed, what remains, and whether media fidelity was preserved. A Privacy Receipt gives you a readable record of the result.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your media stays on this device. No account is required, there are no ads, and media files are not sent to a cleaning server. The device quota service receives only the information needed to enforce the three free exports.

PREMIUM

Try three successful exports free. Premium unlocks unlimited exports on iPhone and Mac. Choose a one-time Lifetime purchase or the flexible Yearly plan. Existing Weekly subscribers keep their access.

Please note: Metadata Cleaner does not remove visible watermarks and cannot guarantee whether an image was AI-generated. Provenance results describe embedded evidence and signature status; they are not a visual-content classifier.
