ExifCleaner

Desktop GUI tool for stripping EXIF, GPS, and metadata from images and documents before sharing.

ExifCleaner is a free, open-source desktop application that strips metadata — EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps, and thumbnail data — from images, videos, and documents. It uses a drag-and-drop GUI and processes files locally (no upload, no cloud). Batch processing handles multiple files at once, and it shows a preview of what metadata will be removed. Essential before posting photos online or sharing documents that may contain author names, revision history, or geolocation.
