Full description
Protect your digital privacy with MetaShield, the ultimate 100% Local Processing, serverless utility designed to inspect, strip, and modify hidden metadata from your photos, videos, and documents before you share them. Every photo you take, video you record, or document you export contains hidden information: exact GPS coordinates, camera models, precise timestamps, author names, company info, and editing history. MetaShield ensures this sensitive data never leaks to social media, messaging apps, or big tech platforms. 🛡️ 100% PRIVACY-FIRST & LOCAL No accounts, no servers, no cloud dependencies. MetaShield processes everything locally on your Android device using Scoped Storage. Your data never leaves your device, ensuring total privacy. 🚀 CORE FEATURES: • NEW! Document Metadata Engine: Full support for PDF files! Clean or spoof sensitive document properties—author details, company names, last modifier logs, and creation timelines—before sending CVs, contracts, or reports. • Video Metadata Engine: Full support for MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI. Clean or spoof video metadata in milliseconds with 100% lossless "Stream Copy" processing. No re-encoding, no battery drain, and zero quality loss! • Privacy Risk Auditor: Automatically check your recent media and files to calculate your personal Privacy Score. Visually detect how many files are leaking your location, author identity, or work details! • Deep Metadata Inspector: Instantly view hidden EXIF tags, video atoms, PDF properties, camera settings, and exact GPS coordinates. • One-Tap Sanitizer: Wipe all metadata completely in milliseconds. Choose to create a clean copy or safely overwrite the original file based on your preference. • System Share Integration (USP): The fastest way to clean! Select media or documents in any app, hit "Share," choose MetaShield, and the app will instantly strip the metadata in the background and re-open the system share sheet for WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or Email. • Metadata Spoofing: Take control of your digital footprint. Instead of deleting metadata, modify or fake GPS locations, device details, author identity, or document creation dates (Deadline Shifter!). • Batch Processing & Smart Zip (Premium): Select and sanitize multiple files or entire folders at once. Automatically compress cleared files into a single secure ZIP for clean sharing without UI freezing. 📄 SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS: • Documents: PDF (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX coming soon!) • Images: JPEG, JPG, PNG, WebP • Videos: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI (No video quality loss!) 💡 WHY METASHIELD? In an era of digital tracking, sharing a simple photo, video, or PDF can expose where you live, work, or who authored your files. MetaShield gives you a lightweight, battery-efficient, and offline tool to keep your personal and professional life private.

Upgrade to MetaClean Premium with a one-time lifetime purchase to permanently remove all ads and enjoy an entirely uninterrupted, seamless privacy experience. Take control of your privacy today.
