Store listing

Full description
MetaClean is a private metadata remover that strips hidden data from your photos, videos, and documents — entirely on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. The photos you share secretly carry your GPS location (often your home), your phone model, your name, and exact timestamps. MetaClean reveals what's hidden, then removes it before you share. WHAT YOUR FILES ARE HIDING Every photo can store EXIF metadata: GPS coordinates, camera and device model, owner name, software, and the precise date and time. A single image posted to a marketplace, dating app, or social feed can expose where you live. Videos carry location and device tags too, and PDF and Office documents quietly embed author, creator, and editing history. MetaClean finds all of it. SEE THE HIDDEN DATA, THEN REMOVE IT Before you clean a file, MetaClean shows you exactly what's inside — including your GPS point on a map, so you can see what a stranger would see. One tap strips the metadata and gives you a clean copy. The transformation is instant and easy to understand. WHAT METACLEAN REMOVES - GPS location and coordinates (EXIF GPS) - Camera make, model, and device info - Author, creator, and owner name - Date and time stamps - XMP and embedded metadata - Document properties in PDF and Office files SUPPORTED FORMATS - Photos: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC - Videos: MP4, MOV - Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX 100% ON-DEVICE PRIVACY MetaClean does all processing locally on your phone. Your files never leave your device — there is no upload, no cloud, and no server. We don't require an account, and usage analytics stay off unless you opt in. A privacy app should be private, so MetaClean is built that way from the ground up. BATCH CLEANING Clean many files at once. Select a set of photos, videos, or documents and remove their metadata in a single batch — ideal before listing items for sale or sharing an album. WHO METACLEAN IS FOR - Sellers on marketplaces who don't want buyers to find their home address - People sharing photos on dating apps and social media - Journalists, activists, and anyone who needs to protect a source or location - Parents who want to share photos of their kids without leaking school or home - Professionals who send PDFs and Office documents and don't want to expose author data - OSINT-aware and security-curious users who understand how metadata leaks WHY METACLEAN Most people never realize their files carry a hidden layer of personal data. Platforms don't always strip it, and once a file is shared it's too late. MetaClean closes that gap: it reveals the hidden metadata, removes EXIF and GPS, and keeps everything on your device. Free, with no account and nothing uploaded. Clean your photos, videos, and PDFs before you share — and keep your location, device, and identity private. Download MetaClean and take back control of your metadata
