## What is MetaFix EXIF Cleaner?

MetaFix EXIF Cleaner helps users inspect, repair, and remove photo metadata on iPhone and Mac.

Import images from Photos or Files, inspect hidden EXIF, IPTC, and XMP location fields, repair wrong capture dates, recover dates from filenames, shift dates, edit GPS and IPTC fields, apply shared title, caption, keywords, creator, and copyright information across a batch, batch-clean privacy-sensitive metadata, and export verified source-format copies.

On iPhone, the Clean with MetaFix action can clean exactly one JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, PNG, or TIFF from a compatible share or action sheet. Choose location-only cleanup or also remove device/software details. Capture dates, ownership, descriptive fields, pixels, and source format are preserved unless a full-app edit explicitly says otherwise. The action returns a copy only after MetaFix's fidelity and requested-removal checks pass and the written file re-opens successfully.

Use built-in Date, Privacy, and Safe presets to start common repair or cleaning jobs quickly. Save your own professional metadata templates for recurring client, catalog, copyright, and publishing workflows, then apply them to a whole batch with one tap.

MetaFix works locally on the user's device. No Launchdesk account is required, selected photos are not uploaded to Launchdesk, and no tracking SDK is included.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-23

MetaFix 1.3 adds Clean with MetaFix on iPhone:

- Clean exactly one JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, PNG, or TIFF from compatible share and action sheets.
- Choose location-only removal or location plus camera, lens, serial, software, and comment removal.
- Preserve capture date, creator/copyright, descriptive fields, pixels, and source format.
- Return only a same-format copy that passes MetaFix's existing fidelity verifier and a second saved-file re-open check.
- Fail closed with a clear error; the original is never returned as a fallback.
- Cancel safely with extension temporary files cleaned up.

The full app still supports batch cleanup, date/GPS repair, and reusable professional templates. The new action is iOS-only and is not embedded in the Mac app.

MetaFix only accesses photos selected by the user and does not upload selected images or metadata to Launchdesk.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-23

Location privacy is more complete in MetaFix 1.1:

- Detect and show location saved in EXIF GPS, IPTC, and XMP fields.
- Remove GPS plus hidden IPTC/XMP location fields with Privacy Cleanup.
- Reopen and verify each exported JPEG before reporting the cleanup as successful.
- Reject non-finite or out-of-range replacement coordinates instead of leaving an original location unchanged.

Reusable professional templates still let you apply title, caption, keywords, creator, and copyright fields across a batch while blank template fields preserve existing information.

MetaFix only accesses photos selected by the user and does not upload selected images or metadata to Launchdesk.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-22

Updated App Store metadata with clearer EXIF, metadata, GPS, date, photo editor, remover and privacy search terms.
