Image metadata and privacy workspace

Viewer, remover and visual redaction belong to one privacy workflow instead of separate near-duplicate pages.

Loading tool

How to prepare photos before sharing

Review hidden metadata and visible private information, then export a cleaned copy.

Inspect metadata

Select a photo and check camera, date, orientation and GPS presence.

Redact visible details

Blur, pixelate or black out one normalized region and optionally add a copyright watermark.

Export and verify

Re-encode cleaned files, rename by date and record the SHA-256 hash of each source file.

Privacy controls with clear limits

The tool separates metadata removal from visible redaction and explains when re-encoding occurs.

No server upload

Private photos remain on the device.

Batch cleanup

Apply one policy to multiple photos and download a ZIP.

Verifiable source

SHA-256 helps identify the exact input file; it does not prove authorship.

Image metadata privacy FAQ

Does re-export remove GPS metadata?

Yes. Canvas creates new image pixels without carrying the original EXIF/GPS blocks. JPEG date editing adds back only a minimal capture-date tag.

Can the tool hide text visible inside a photo?

Yes. Choose blur, pixelate or black redaction and position the normalized rectangle over the sensitive region.

Does a SHA-256 hash prove copyright ownership?

No. It identifies file bytes and is useful for integrity checks, but ownership requires separate evidence.
