Verified feature
Private metadata cleanup
Inspect and clean selected EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data before sharing a processed photo copy.
The problem it solves: A photo can carry location, camera, and other metadata that should not be included in every delivery.
What you can do
- Inspect tracked EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata categories.
- Scrub selected private metadata from a processed photo copy.
- Keep the original file separate from the cleaned output workflow.
Available options
- Location, camera, and other tracked metadata categories exposed by the cleanup workflow.
Supported inputs
- Local photos containing EXIF, IPTC, or XMP metadata.
Outputs
- A processed photo copy with selected metadata removed.
Workflow
- Select the photo to inspect.
- Review the metadata categories available for cleanup.
- Run cleanup and use the processed copy for the intended delivery.
Limitations
- Cleanup is based on metadata categories implemented by the current app version; review the output before publication.
Common questions
Does cleanup change my original photo?
The documented workflow creates processed photo data for handling and delivery; keep your original source file as needed and review the saved result.
