A photo privacy app that quickly and easily removes location (GPS) and date info from your photos! • Remove Only What You Choose Pick what to erase — Location (GPS), Date, or both. Anything you don't select stays exactly as it is. • Clears Hidden Location Data Too Beyond GPS coordinates, it also wipes the city and country names and the capture time stored separately in the photo's file metadata. • Same Quality, Same File Size Only the metadata is removed — the photo is never re-compressed, so the original quality and file size stay intact. • Safe File Names Photos are saved under a plain file name that reveals neither the date nor the app, so the info you removed doesn't leak through the name. • Detailed Photo Information Check key details at a glance, including file name, resolution, file size, and creation date. • Separate Save & Instant Sharing Your original photo stays untouched — the cleaned copy is saved separately and can be shared instantly from the app.
