Clear photo & video metadata
New: remove the Edits label, change date and location, see where a photo was taken on a map. Clear hidden photo and video data before you share.
New in version 1.1
• Remove the Edits label: photos and videos made with the Edits app no longer show “Edits” when you post them (Pro)
• See where a photo was taken on a map, with the street address (Pro)
• Change the date and time of a photo or video (Pro)
• Pick a new location on the map and write it into the clean copy (Pro)
• Keep your clean copies together in a “MetaClearX” album in Photos
Every photo you take carries hidden information: where it was taken, when, on which phone, and sometimes even a label saying it was made with AI. MetaClearX shows you all of it and removes what you choose, right on your iPhone.
What MetaClearX finds
• Location: GPS coordinates that can point to your home
• Date and time the photo was taken and edited
• Device make, model and lens
• Serial numbers and unique IDs
• Names of people and face tags
• AI labels and content credentials (C2PA)
• The Edits label added by the Edits app
• Hidden preview images that can still show the part you cropped out
• Author, copyright and editing history
• Camera settings such as flash and ISO
Each category is marked as high, medium or low risk, so you can see at a glance what matters.
How it works
- Add photos or videos from your library or Files, up to three at once (unlimited with Pro).
- See the metadata of each file, grouped into plain categories.
- Sensitive categories are selected for you. Change anything you like.
- Tap Clear, then save the clean copies to your library or to Files and share them right away.
Made for iPad and iPhone Duo
On iPad and an unfolded iPhone Duo, see the photo on one side and its hidden details on the other, with the controls right under your thumb. Works in every orientation and window size.
Private by design
• Everything happens on your iPhone. Your photos and videos are never uploaded.
• The map is shown with Apple Maps, so only the coordinates are sent to Apple, never your files.
• Your original is never changed or deleted. MetaClearX saves a new, clean copy.
• No quality loss: photos aren't recompressed and videos aren't re-encoded.
• No account, no sign-up.
Free and Pro
MetaClearX is free to use. You can see what is hidden in your files and remove location, device details, IDs, person tags and AI labels, up to three files at a time. Exact GPS coordinates and the map are part of Pro. A short ad plays before each clean.
MetaClearX Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription:
• See the location on a map, with the address
• Change the date, time and location
• Remove the Edits label
• No ads
• Remove date and time
• Unlimited files per clean
• Choose individual fields inside a category
• Remove captions, keywords and camera settings
• Export a metadata report
• Save your own default selection
Most Pro features can also be unlocked for a single clean by watching a short ad. The map, date and location editing and Edits label removal come only with the purchase.
Supported formats
JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, PNG, MOV, MP4 and M4V. RAW and ProRAW files are not supported yet. Live Photos are saved as still photos.
Good to know
Some AI tools also hide an invisible watermark inside the pixels of an image. That is not metadata, and MetaClearX does not change it. Where laws or platforms require AI-generated content to be disclosed, that obligation still applies.
Available in English, Türkçe, Español and Deutsch, with light and dark mode.
