CleanCopy

CleanCopy shows what a photo, video or PDF carries, then saves a clean copy of a photo or video. Your original is never changed. See before you clean. Pick a photo and CleanCopy lists what it carries: where it was taken, when, with which camera, plus embedded previews, descriptions, edit history and C2PA manifests. Looking is free. A copy, and a report you can read. Clean a photo and CleanCopy checks the copy, then shows the original's values struck through and lists only the checks that actually ran: what was removed, what was checked, what is still there, and anything it could not check. A hidden note about how a photo was made. Some editing tools, including some AI tools, add a note inside the photo file saying so. Some apps read that note. CleanCopy shows you the note and lets you remove it from a copy, and it asks you first. Other things can still make an app label a photo, and CleanCopy cannot change those. Videos (cleaning is part of CleanCopy Pro). Look at what a video carries for free: location, creation time, camera or app, and whether it has a C2PA manifest. Cleaning a MOV, MP4 or M4V into a new copy needs CleanCopy Pro. PDFs (inspect only). Choose "Inspect a PDF" and CleanCopy lists what it carries, such as the author, the program that made it, dates, comments, attachments and signatures. The PDF is read in place, your file is not changed, and photos inside a PDF are reported but not removed in this version. Clean as you share. Send a photo from the share sheet and get a clean copy in one step. A few cleans are free; unlimited Share-sheet and Shortcuts cleaning is part of CleanCopy Pro. Many photos at once (CleanCopy Pro). Clean up to 20 photos in a row, each with its own report. Photo library tab (optional). Find duplicate, similar and blurry photos on your device and review them one by one. 50 decisions are free; more need CleanCopy Pro. Nothing is deleted unless you select it and iOS asks you to confirm, at least one photo of every group is kept, and everything is worked out on your device. Honest about the limits. Removing metadata does not remove what is built into the picture, such as invisible watermarks, and it does not change what a platform can detect or learn in other ways. Platforms may still require you to disclose AI-generated content. Private by design. No accounts and no tracking. Photos, PDFs and videos are processed on your device. CleanCopy Pro is a one-time purchase, with Restore Purchases in Settings. Cleans JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and TIFF photos, including animated GIFs. Animated PNG and WebP files, and HEIC and AVIF image sequences, are left untouched and reported. A camera RAW photo cannot be cleaned without changing its image data: where CleanCopy can read it, you can save a clean JPEG copy, which is converted and is not your original RAW file (some RAW types are not supported yet). Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument files are not supported yet. Photos in iCloud are downloaded by iOS when you pick them. Terms of Use: https://cleancopy-site.vercel.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CleanCopy at Free against Director Cam's $4.99. CleanCopy also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). Director Cam's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
