MetaPurge
Locally strip sensitive EXIF/metadata from your photos.
New in version 1.0
• Initial Release\n• Nuclear metadata stripping for JPEG, PNG, WebP\n• 100% Offline & Zero Permissions
MetaPurge is a privacy-first utility for locally stripping sensitive EXIF and metadata from your photos.
Unlike other apps that just 'hide' tags, MetaPurge uses a 'nuclear' approach—it physically cuts the metadata segments out of the file bytes.
Key Features:
• 100% Offline: Your photos never leave your device.
• Zero Permissions: No storage or internet permissions required on modern Android.
• Format Support: JPEG, PNG, and WebP.
• Smart Tools: Automatic orientation correction and high-res photo handling.
• Transparent: Full technical metadata view for expert users.
Keep your pixels, lose the tracking.
