Editor's Overview

EXIF Remove - Strip, Randomize & View Metadata is a multimedia application developed by Jakob Kreft, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.3 weighing in at 1.74 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 1.74 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Jakob Kreft" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

EXIF Remove strips metadata from photos and videos before you share them, so you don't hand over your location, the time a photo was taken, or the device that took it.

Share files to EXIF Remove from any app, pick a template, and pass the cleaned copies on. Or open the app and pick files directly.

Templates control what happens to each category:

* Location (GPS): keep, remove or randomize
* Date and time: keep, remove or randomize
* Camera, software and author info: keep or remove
* Other metadata: keep or remove

Three built-in templates come ready to edit: Remove everything, Remove location only, and Scramble location and date. Add your own, set a default, and skip the picker to clean in one tap.

What gets cleaned

JPEG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without re-encoding, so the pixels are untouched. HEIC and AVIF are converted to clean JPEGs. Videos (MP4, MOV and 3GP) are cleaned in place, also without re-encoding, so even large recordings finish instantly.

XMP, IPTC, comments and embedded thumbnails are always removed. ICC color profiles are kept, so colors never change. Cleaned files can be given random names, because file names leak information too.

Phones also hide whole files after the end of an image: a motion photo's video, an Ultra HDR gain map, a second copy of the picture. Each carries its own record of where you were and what device you own. EXIF Remove drops those as well.

See what was removed

After each clean you get a report for every file: what was removed, what was kept, and what was hidden inside. Each cleaned image is then re-parsed from scratch and withheld if it cannot be proven free of metadata.

The built-in metadata viewer lets you inspect any photo or video yourself and preview exactly what a template would do to it.

No network access: the app does not request the internet permission, so Android blocks it at the system level. No tracking, no ads. Free software under the GNU GPL v3 or later.
