Remove EXIF metadata and GPS data from photos before you share. Exif Cleaner is a photo metadata remover for JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, PNG and WebP images, with a detailed EXIF viewer for JPEG. Clean one photo or batch-clean up to 20 images, then save a new copy. Photos may store hidden image metadata such as GPS coordinates, capture dates, camera and lens information, author names, copyright details and software tags. Exif Cleaner helps you see what is attached and remove what you do not want to share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ExifOff at none against Exif Cleaner's 3. Exif Cleaner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
