Protect your privacy! Remove or edit private information from your photos

This app was removed from Google Play Store on 2026-04-21

Features & Capabilities

Photo Meta Remover removes private information from your photos stored as image metadata (exif) so you can share them safely.

This is an open-source project. The code can be found on https://github.com/antonis179/exif-stripper.

Photos you take with your phone contain a lot of metadata - some are benign, while others put your privacy at risk:

• GPS location / direction
• Camera make / model (this will be your device make and model)
• Date and time
• Software (the app used to process the image on your device)

Photo Meta Remover can show you the metadata in your photos as well as delete them.

Any data gathered by this application cannot be used to identify you. Some data gathering is required to serve ads and
perform bug fixing (see the privacy policy).
The app can be used offline and if you would prefer no data gathering you can build the app from source
making any required changes.

By downloading this app you agree to the privacy policy.

Current Features:

• Remove metadata from multiple images at once
• Edit metadata
• Save or Share the stripped images
• Share images to the app directly from your gallery
• Auto save option after metadata removal

If you have a feature idea you would like to see in the app please let me know.

User Reviews

Users consistently praise Photo Meta Remover for reliably stripping EXIF data, its simplicity, batch-processing ability, and active open-source development. Repeated problems include failures to load/process selected images, occasional crashes or stop-work errors, and worries about third-party trackers and unclear data-retention details in the privacy policy.

Pros

Effectively removes EXIF/metadata so photos/videos can be stripped of identifying info
Simple, easy-to-use interface praised by multiple users
Supports batch removal / processing of multiple photos at once
Open-source, privacy-focused and actively maintained by the developer (frequent improvements)

Cons

Several users report failures to load or process selected images ("file not supported") or inability to proceed with a chosen photo
Some reports of the app crashing or suddenly stopping with error messages
Privacy concerns about third-party trackers and unclear data retention in the privacy policy

Recent reviews

I love this app but suddenly it just stopped working. As soon as I select a photo and click to proceed to next step I get the message, "Oops something went terribly wrong" I'm running a s22 Samsung, please help Thanks
