Take control of the invisible data in your files. Every photo you take and every document you save contains technical information called "metadata": exact GPS coordinates, creation dates, camera models, and sometimes author names. While useful, this data is not always meant to be shared publicly. Metadata Studio is the ultimate utility suite, combining two professional tools into a single app to protect your privacy and ensure the compliance of your shared files. READER MODE (ANALYZER): • Total Transparency: Instantly extract and read the complete structure of your images (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF, GPS). • Geographic Visualization: If a photo contains coordinates, automatically display the exact location on an integrated interactive Apple Map. • Selective Correction: Double-tap on an authorized value to correct inaccurate information or delete a specific data point, while preserving the rest of the file. • Audit Reports: Export the results of your analysis as a text report (.txt) for your archives. CLEANER MODE (BATCH PROCESSOR): • Batch Processing: Import dozens of photos from your camera roll or documents from the Files app. The asynchronous algorithm processes them in a single pass. • Intelligent Cleaning: Choose total anonymization, or "Targeted" mode which removes only private data (GPS, Author) while keeping technical camera settings for photographers. • Date Harmonization: Standardize your exports by resetting the creation dates of your files (e.g., 1980, today's date, or a custom date). • Native Office Support: Natively clean the internal structure of your Microsoft Office files without corruption. • CSV Audit Report: Automatically generate a CSV audit log certifying the successful cleaning of your files. SECURITY AND PRIVACY: 100% ON-DEVICE Designed with "Privacy by Design" principles, Metadata Studio works completely offline on your device. No files are ever sent, analyzed, or stored on a remote server. Furthermore, your original files are never overwritten without your knowledge: the software generates clean copies ready to be shared via the native iOS share sheet. Share your files with complete peace of mind.
