MetadataCleaner helps you share photos and supported documents with less hidden information attached. Photos can contain metadata such as GPS location, camera and device details, capture timestamps, software tags, and other image metadata.

Free is built for quick, safe photo cleanups: โข Up to 10 images per batch โข 3 cleanup batches per day โข Preview before cleaning โข Remove supported location, device, timestamp, camera, software, and other basic image metadata โข One saved Quick Clean preset โข A clear before-and-after summary MetadataCleaner Pro is a one-time upgrade for repeatable professional workflows: โข Unlimited images and batches โข Folder processing from Files while the app is open โข Unlimited saved presets, including Share Safely, Client Delivery, Social Media, and Archive โข Supported field actions to retain, remove, replace, redact, or normalize image metadata โข Searchable metadata inspection, before-and-after comparison, local history, and export receipts โข Local cleaned copies of supported PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

SureShare

Send a photo, send your home address. Send a PDF, send your name. Every file you share carries a hidden trail. A photo can record the exact spot it was taken, the phone that took it, and the second you pressed the shutter. A document can name you, the app you made it in, and every time it was edited. None of it is visible when you look at the file โ but anyone you send it to can read all of it. SureShare shows you what's hidden, removes it, and lets you capture files that never had anything to hide in the first place. CHECK BEFORE YOU SHARE Pick any photo, video or PDF and see exactly what it reveals โ location, device, timestamps, author names, edit history โ each rated by how much it gives away, with a privacy score out of 100. CLEAN, THEN VERIFY Removing metadata is easy to claim and hard to prove. So SureShare cleans your file, then scans the result again with the same strict check โ and shows you the verified score. If something couldn't be removed, it says so instead of pretending. PRIVATE CAMERA Take photos and video that never record your location, your device or the time. Nothing to strip out, because nothing was ever written. Includes zoom, filters and 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1 framing. PRIVATE SCANNER Scan documents straight to clean PDFs. Reorder, rotate, delete and add pages, then keep them in your own library on this device. METADATA EDITOR Need to correct something rather than erase it? Change or remove a date, a location, or a PDF's author and title โ written to a copy, so your original is never touched. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No cloud. No analytics. Your files are never uploaded anywhere, because there is nowhere to upload them to. SureShare works completely offline. SureShare Pro unlocks unlimited cleaning, batch cleaning, and unlimited use of the camera, scanner and editor. It's a one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SureShare at fortnightly against MetadataCleaner's every 3 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
