TraceOff: AI Metadata Remover

Remove GPS locations, EXIF and embedded AI labels before you share. Inspect first, choose what to remove, then check the result. No upload or account required.

Remove hidden metadata before you share a photo or file. TraceOff lets you inspect GPS locations, EXIF, camera details, dates, authors and embedded AI labels, then choose what to remove. Files are processed on your device: no upload, no account.

SEE WHAT A FILE REVEALS

A photo can reveal where and when it was taken, your camera model or serial number, and the software used to edit it. Documents can carry authors and creation dates. TraceOff shows the metadata it finds before you change anything.

CHOOSE WHAT TO REMOVE

• All metadata: remove supported location, camera, date, author, comment and provenance fields while keeping what the file needs to display correctly.
• Custom: select individual findings and save your choices as a preset. Remove a location or round it to a city or neighbourhood.
• AI provenance only: remove supported C2PA Content Credentials, IPTC AI labels, TC260 tags and generator records while keeping camera EXIF and ordinary text.

KEEP THE CONTENT

Metadata cleaning preserves image pixels and audio/video streams without re-encoding. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, TIFF, DNG, MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, WAV, FLAC and AIFF. Animated GIFs and Live Photos keep their motion.

Also clean document properties in PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument files and EPUB books, plus metadata in SVG drawings. TraceOff reads each cleaned result again and reports targeted metadata that remains.

MORE WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY

• Audit your photo library for location data and AI labels.
• Set private places to remove or round locations near home or work when cleaning.
• Blur faces, number plates, QR codes and personal details before sharing. Blurring changes pixels and re-encodes the image.
• Edit titles, captions, creators, copyright, dates and locations.
• Clean from the share sheet, Shortcuts or Clean Clipboard.
• Remove supported tracking parameters from links with Clean Link.

Save cleaned copies to Photos or Files, share them, or copy them to the clipboard. Originals stay unchanged unless you choose Save & Delete Original. Choosing “Delete original” in Settings does the same when saving to Photos.

KNOW THE LIMITS

Metadata removal does not remove visible or invisible pixel watermarks such as SynthID, or records held by a server. No detected AI signal means unknown, not proof that a file was never AI-generated.

Use TraceOff on content you own or may edit. Some platforms and jurisdictions require AI disclosures to remain.
