Exif Eraser removes hidden data from photos before you share them. GPS coordinates, camera model, and capture time stay on this iPhone—nothing is uploaded, and there is no account. Photos can reveal more than the picture. A street, a home, the phone you used, and when you were there often live in EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags. Exif Eraser shows those risks, then writes a cleaned copy. WHY IT MATTERS • Location: GPS can pinpoint the street or home where a photo was taken • Device: make, model, and lens can identify the camera you used • Timestamp: capture time can show when you were at a place HOW IT WORKS • Select one photo or a batch from your library (up to 30) • Review location, device, and timestamps at a glance—open any photo for full EXIF • Choose All metadata, or Location only if you want to keep camera settings • Save a copy to the Exif Eraser album, share a cleaned file, or replace the original in Photos PRIVACY FIRST • Processed entirely on your iPhone or iPad • No cloud, no analytics, no tracking, no sign-in • Save Copy keeps the original; Replace Original is optional and only runs when you choose it
