PhotoAware: EXIF & GPS Cleaner

Did you know that a photo can contain more than what you see? Photos may include hidden metadata such as GPS location, date and time taken, device information, camera details, and other EXIF data. When you share a photo, some of this information may remain embedded in the file. PhotoAware helps you check the metadata stored in your photos and remove potentially private information before saving or sharing them. ■ CHECK HIDDEN PHOTO METADATA Select a photo and PhotoAware will help you see what metadata is stored in the file, including: • GPS location data • Date and time taken • Smartphone or camera information • Lens and shooting information • Other EXIF metadata Know what your photo may reveal before you share it. ■ CHECK MULTIPLE PHOTOS Need to check more than one photo? Select multiple photos and review whether they contain potentially private metadata without checking every photo individually. ■ IDENTIFY PHOTOS WITH PRIVATE METADATA PhotoAware makes it easier to distinguish photos that contain metadata from those that do not. This can be especially useful when checking whether GPS location information remains embedded in a photo. ■ REMOVE PRIVATE METADATA If a photo contains metadata you do not want to share, PhotoAware can create a new copy with the metadata removed. Your original photo is not overwritten or modified. ■ SAVE OR SHARE SAFELY After removing metadata, you can save the cleaned photo to your device or share it using Android's system sharing options. Use it before sharing photos through social media, messaging apps, email, online marketplaces, and other services. ■ YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Photo analysis and metadata removal are performed on your device. PhotoAware does not upload your selected photos or their EXIF/GPS metadata to a developer-operated server for analysis. Checking GPS metadata does not mean PhotoAware tracks your current location. The app checks location information that is already stored inside the photo you select. ■ USE PHOTOAWARE BEFORE • Posting photos on social media • Sending photos through messaging apps • Uploading product photos to online marketplaces • Sharing family or children's photos • Sharing travel photos • Sending photos by email • Checking whether photos contain GPS information A photo can reveal more than you intended.
