CleanShots vs ExifGone

Strip Hidden Location Data from Photos & Videos in Seconds Every image contains invisible EXIF metadata revealing your exact GPS location, device details, and timestamps. CleanShots removes it all while preserving original quality—no compression, no re-encoding. Why Your Photos Need Privacy Protection Modern smartphones embed 30+ metadata fields in every photo. This includes your precise GPS coordinates, phone model, unique device identifiers, camera settings, editing software used, and exact date/time. When you share images online, you're unknowingly broadcasting this personal information to anyone who downloads them. Professional Watermarking Tools Protect your original content with customizable watermarks. Add usernames, dates, copyright notices, or custom text to photos and videos. Position watermarks anywhere, adjust opacity, choose fonts—all without needing expensive editing software. Perfect for photographers, artists, and content creators protecting their work. Video Privacy Protection Unlike most metadata cleaners that only handle images, CleanShots fully supports video files. Remove location data from video. Add watermarks to video content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Real-World Privacy Scenarios Home Security - Selling items online? Photos taken at home contain GPS data pointing directly to your address. CleanShots removes this before you post to Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay. Travel Safety - Vacation photos reveal when you're away from home. Strip timestamps and locations before posting to prevent burglars from knowing your house is empty. Professional Verification - Reddit communities require verification photos but you don't want to expose personal data. Remove metadata while adding username watermarks for perfect verification posts. Dating Safety - Dating profile photos shouldn't reveal where you live or work. Clean images before uploading to Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, or other dating platforms. Anonymous Posting - Contributing to forums, whistleblowing, or sharing sensitive content requires true anonymity. Remove all identifying metadata before posting. Content Protection - Artists and photographers need to watermark work before sharing online. Add copyright notices while simultaneously removing camera serial numbers that could identify you.

ExifGone helps you understand what private metadata is stored in a photo and create a cleaned copy before sharing it. • Inspect EXIF, location, device, date, authorship, description, XMP, IPTC, and supported C2PA metadata. • See whether each field came from EXIF, XMP, IPTC-IIM, Photoshop, PNG, or C2PA. • Filter a batch to the photos that contain location data and swipe through photo details. • Use Full Privacy, Location, Custom, or reusable named cleaning profiles. • See a before-and-after report of what was removed. • Share privacy-safe cleaning reports as readable text or JSON. • Clean in one tap with Quick Clean and an automatic next action. • Import and save batches with Photos or Files. • Use saved profiles in the app, system share sheet, and Shortcuts. • Customize cleaned-copy filenames and optional batch numbering. • Work comfortably on iPad with an adaptive list-detail layout and responsive settings. • Clean JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, and WebP while keeping compressed image data unchanged. • Process everything locally, without accounts, analytics, ads, or uploads. ExifGone removes metadata containers. It does not claim to detect or remove SynthID or other watermarks encoded directly in image pixels.
