Every photo you take, video you record, or document you export contains hidden information: exact GPS coordinates, camera models, precise timestamps, author names, company info, and editing history. MetaShield ensures this sensitive data never leaks to social media, messaging apps, or big tech platforms.

🛡️ 100% PRIVACY-FIRST & LOCAL
No accounts, no servers, no cloud dependencies. MetaShield processes everything locally on your Android device using Scoped Storage. Your data never leaves your device, ensuring total privacy.

🚀 CORE FEATURES:

• NEW! Document Metadata Engine: Full support for PDF files! Clean or spoof sensitive document properties—author details, company names, last modifier logs, and creation timelines—before sending CVs, contracts, or reports.
• Video Metadata Engine: Full support for MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI. Clean or spoof video metadata in milliseconds with 100% lossless "Stream Copy" processing. No re-encoding, no battery drain, and zero quality loss!
• Privacy Risk Auditor: Automatically check your recent media and files to calculate your personal Privacy Score. Visually detect how many files are leaking your location, author identity, or work details!
• Deep Metadata Inspector: Instantly view hidden EXIF tags, video atoms, PDF properties, camera settings, and exact GPS coordinates.
• One-Tap Sanitizer: Wipe all metadata completely in milliseconds. Choose to create a clean copy or safely overwrite the original file based on your preference.
• System Share Integration (USP): The fastest way to clean! Select media or documents in any app, hit "Share," choose MetaShield, and the app will instantly strip the metadata in the background and re-open the system share sheet for WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or Email.
• Metadata Spoofing: Take control of your digital footprint. Instead of deleting metadata, modify or fake GPS locations, device details, author identity, or document creation dates (Deadline Shifter!).
• Batch Processing & Smart Zip (Premium): Select and sanitize multiple files or entire folders at once. Automatically compress cleared files into a single secure ZIP for clean sharing without UI freezing.
