Pixveil is the fastest way to see exactly what's hidden and remove it in one tap. View full EXIF metadata, grouped by category: · Location — GPS latitude, longitude, altitude · Camera — Make, model, lens, aperture, ISO, shutter speed · Date & Time — When the photo was taken and digitized · File — Dimensions, color space, file size Strip metadata instantly: · One-tap full strip removes everything · Selective strip (Pro) — keep GPS but remove camera, or any combination · Batch strip (Pro) — clean up to 60 photos in a single operation WHAT MAKES PIXVEIL DIFFERENT · 100% on-device processing — your photos never touch a server · Inspect before you strip: see exactly which fields will go · One-time Pro purchase — no subscription, ever PRICING Inspecting photos and the one-tap full strip are included at no charge.
