About

Metadata Destroyer

Features
Read full description

Metadata Destroyer removes metadata info by taking the image completely apart and reconstructing it pixel by pixel. The app reads the visible pixels from your photo, separates them from the original file, and uses them to build a fresh image. Because the original file is not copied, its embedded metadata is not carried into the reconstructed version. The result is a clean copy that looks like your original photo without retaining its original hidden information. WHY RECONSTRUCT THE IMAGE? Some tools edit or remove individual metadata fields. Metadata Destroyer takes a different approach: it extracts the image itself and rebuilds it as a completely new file, pixel by pixel. FEATURES • Reconstruct photos pixel by pixel • Remove original EXIF metadata • Strip embedded GPS and location information • Remove capture dates, camera details, and device information • Preserve the visible appearance of your photo • Save the reconstructed image to your photo library • Simple, focused, and easy to use HOW IT WORKS 1. Select a photo 2. Metadata Destroyer separates the image into its individual pixels 3. The pixels are reconstructed as a fresh image file 4. Save or share the clean copy Protect your privacy before posting, messaging, uploading, or sharing your photos. Your photos contain information you cannot see—including GPS coordinates, capture dates, camera details, device information, and other EXIF metadata. Share the image—not its history.
