Every photo you take secretly carries hidden data. Your camera model. The exact GPS location where the photo was taken. The date and time. The software you used to edit it. All invisible. All embedded in your image file. All potentially exposed every time you share a photo.
Pic Meta reveals everything — then lets you remove it.

🔍 What Pic Meta Does
Pic Meta analyzes the metadata embedded in your photos and shows you exactly what information your images contain — in plain, readable language. No technical jargon. No raw data dumps. Just clear, organized information about what your photo is silently saying about you.

📋 What It Reveals

Camera & Lens — Make, model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, flash
GPS Location — Exact coordinates with real address (resolved via OpenStreetMap)
Date & Time — When and where the photo was taken
Author & Copyright — Embedded name, copyright notice, keywords
Editing Software — What app or program was used to edit the photo
Steganography Scan — Statistical analysis to detect hidden embedded data


🛡️ Privacy Risk Detection
Pic Meta automatically flags sensitive fields — high risk (GPS location, author name), medium risk (device info, software), and low risk (copyright). You see exactly what's exposed before you share.

🗑️ Strip Metadata in One Tap
Found something you don't want to share? Strip all metadata from any photo instantly. A clean copy is saved to your gallery — original untouched, metadata-free version ready to share safely.
