Photos often record more than you can see: the exact spot where you took them, the time to the second and the phone you used. Post one or send it to a friend, and all of that goes with it. Erado shows you what's in each photo and video, then makes a clean copy you can share. Your originals stay as they are. WHAT ERADO FINDS • Location, shown on a map with the place name and coordinates • Phone model, lens and software version • The date and time it was taken, with your time zone • Camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO • Every EXIF, GPS, TIFF and QuickTime tag, if you want the full list CLEAN COPIES • Remove location, device, date and camera details in one tap • Copies keep their original format, and JPEGs aren't recompressed • Videos are cleaned without re-encoding (Erado Pro) • Each copy is checked before you share it SHARE OR SAVE • Share to messages, email or social apps • Save to Photos • Export to Files PRIVACY • Erado never uploads your photos. Checking and cleaning happen on your iPhone. • No account needed • You choose which photos to check, so Erado doesn't need access to your whole library • Erado collects anonymous usage counts, never your photos or their details FREE AND PRO Checking photos is always free, and you can make 3 clean copies for free. Erado Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds unlimited clean copies and videos. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

No ads. No tracking. Works offline. Why download * You need complete metadata, not the small subset shown by Photos. * You want batch inspection and one-file export for many images. * You care about privacy: redact GPS before sharing. * You organize large libraries and need duplicate detection with hashes. * You work with varied formats (HEIC, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, RAW). What’s unique vs. Photos “swipe-up” panel * Photos shows a minimal subset; MetaScope shows every ImageIO bucket (EXIF, IPTC, TIFF, GPS, JFIF, PNG, RAW, Maker Apple). * Photos is one photo at a time; MetaScope supports multi-select, gallery view, and bulk JSON export. * Photos has no SHA-256, no duplicate detection, no raw key/value browser, and no export of the metadata itself. * Photos cannot redact GPS on export; MetaScope can.
