Pixveil strips the hidden metadata from your photos before you share them — so you control what you reveal. Every photo your iPhone takes quietly embeds GPS coordinates, camera model, exact timestamp, lens settings, and more into the file. When you share that photo, all of it goes with it. Pixveil is the fastest way to see exactly what's hidden and remove it in one tap. View full EXIF metadata, grouped by category: Ā· Location — GPS latitude, longitude, altitude Ā· Camera — Make, model, lens, aperture, ISO, shutter speed Ā· Date & Time — When the photo was taken and digitized Ā· File — Dimensions, color space, file size Strip metadata instantly: Ā· One-tap full strip removes everything Ā· Selective strip (Pro) — keep GPS but remove camera, or any combination Ā· Batch strip (Pro) — clean up to 60 photos in a single operation WHAT MAKES PIXVEIL DIFFERENT Ā· 100% on-device processing — your photos never touch a server Ā· Inspect before you strip: see exactly which fields will go Ā· One-time Pro purchase — no subscription, ever PRICING Inspecting photos and the one-tap full strip are included at no charge. Pixveil Pro (selective strip, batch strip, and all future features) is a single one-time purchase — yours forever, with no subscription. FEEDBACK Questions, bug reports, or feature ideas?

About

EXIF+ Viewer, Metadata Remover

Features
Read full description

EXIF+ is a photo metadata viewer, editor, and remover for iPhone and iPad. Open a photo from your library, inspect EXIF, IPTC, and GPS-style fields, then edit or strip them and save a cleaned copy in Photos. The original stays. HEIC, HEIF, and PNG are kept when that is the source format; other types may save as JPEG. Use it before you send or post a photo: check GPS, camera data, capture date, author, and copyright. Marketplace, dating, and social posters strip location and device details. Others fix a wrong date or GPS pin, or keep a cleaned copy and leave the original untouched. FEATURES • Photos: Recents, Favorites, Screenshots, Selfies, user albums; import one image from Files • Viewer: Overview, Date & Time, Location, Camera, Camera Settings, Author & Copyright, Description, Image Information, Additional Info • Copy any value; GPS map preview and Open in Maps • Remove all metadata from one photo (new Photos item) or edit dates, GPS, camera, author/copyright, title, description, comment, keywords, camera settings • Location: type coordinates, pick on the map with search, or Remove Location • Select / Select All for batch remove or batch edit (Premium if more than one photo); share a stripped file from the photo screen (Premium) • History before/after (up to 50); Settings restore; on-device PhotoKit/ImageIO; iOS 17+ HOW TO 1.

WHO IT IS FOR People who do not want GPS in photos they send; photographers checking camera data and adding copyright; marketplace, dating, and social posters stripping location before upload; anyone fixing a wrong date or GPS pin. WHY EXIF+ EXIF+ views, edits, and strips photo metadata in one iOS app and writes a new Photos item, instead of view-only apps or turning off Location in Settings, which does not clean photos you already took. Batch and stripped share are Premium; single-photo view, edit, and remove are available to start. FAQ Q: Does EXIF+ work on iPhone and iPad? A: Yes. It is an iOS 17+ app for iPhone and iPad. Q: Can I view EXIF, GPS, and camera data? A: Yes. The viewer shows curated EXIF, IPTC, and GPS-style fields — not a raw dump of every tag. Q: Does removing metadata overwrite the original? A: No. Cleaned and edited photos are saved as new Photo Library items. The original stays. Q: Is EXIF+ free? A: Single-photo view, edit, and remove are available without Premium. Batch for more than one photo and stripped share are Premium. Q: How do I share a photo without GPS? A: Use Share on the photo screen (Premium) via the iOS share sheet, or remove metadata first and share the new Photos item. Q: Does EXIF+ edit video metadata? A: No. It works with photos from your library, not videos. Q: Does it strip metadata when I share from the Photos app? A: No. Use Share inside EXIF+ or save a cleaned copy and share that item.
