Metadata Cleaner · 사진/동영상

EXIF viewer · 사진 메타데이터 · 위치, 날짜, 카메라 정보를 확인하고 정리해요

사진과 동영상에는 눈에 보이지 않는 메타데이터가 함께 저장돼요. 어디에서 찍었는지, 언제 찍었는지, 어떤 휴대폰으로 찍었는지, 원본 이미지의 썸네일까지 들어 있을 수 있어요. 그대로 공유하면 이런 정보도 함께 전송돼요.

Metadata Cleaner는 사진과 동영상에 들어 있는 메타데이터를 한눈에 보여 주고, 몇 번만 눌러서 기기 안에서 바로 정리할 수 있게 도와줘요.

지원하는 형식: 사진은 JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, GIF, 동영상은 MP4, MOV, 3GP를 지원해요. 앞으로 더 많은 형식도 추가할 예정이에요.

두 가지 도구를 하나로: EXIF viewer 기능으로 사진 메타데이터 (사진 위치정보, GPS 좌표, 날짜, 카메라 정보)를 읽고, 정리 도구로 지워요. 개인정보 보호는 내 휴대폰 안에서만 이뤄져요.

주요 기능

Free Metadata Cleaner의 기능

처음부터 개인 정보 보호를 생각했어요

사진과 동영상은 내 기기에서만 읽고 정리해요. 계정이 필요 없고, 광고와 추적 분석도 없어요. 한 가지 선택 사항 예외가 있어요: 사진의 위치를 지도에서 보고 싶다고 요청하면, 먼저 물어본 다음 지도 데이터를 OpenStreetMap에서 불러와요.

꼼꼼하게 정리해요

EXIF, IPTC, XMP 메타데이터, 내장 썸네일, 카메라 제조사 메모, 그리고 일부 편집 도구가 잘라낸 사진 뒤에 남겨 두는 잔여 데이터까지 확인하고 정리해요.

한눈에 공유해도 안전한지 알 수 있어요

메타데이터가 남지 않은 파일에는 초록색 방패 아이콘이, 아직 데이터가 남아 있는 파일에는 빨간색 갈라진 방패 아이콘이 표시돼요.

사용자가 선택해요

모든 메타데이터를 정리하거나, 위치 정보만 정리하거나, 세부 카테고리를 직접 골라서 정리할 수 있어요. 여러 파일을 한 번에 선택해서 정리하고, 원본을 그대로 보관하거나 정리된 파일로 교체할 수 있어요.

화질은 그대로 유지돼요

이미지는 다시 인코딩하지 않아서 사진 자체는 건드리지 않아요.

무료이고 광고가 없어요

앱이 도움이 된다면, 선택적으로 팁을 남길 수 있어요.

Support the project

Free Metadata Cleaner is a photo-privacy app that I develop and maintain on my own, in my spare time alongside my day job. It shows the hidden data inside your photos (where and when they were taken, which phone, even leftover bytes behind a crop) and removes it in one tap.

It is a local-first project: your photos never leave your device, and it even works in airplane mode. No account, no ads, and no tracking.

If you find the app useful, thank you for your support, whatever form it takes.

Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-09-23

Free Metadata Cleaner shows and removes the metadata hidden in your photos and videos (location, date and time, camera and lens details, thumbnails…). The short version: everything happens on your device, and we collect nothing.

What the app accesses

Your photo and video library, only after you grant permission (and, where your system requires it, the permission to read the location stored in your photos, so that it can be shown to you). The files you choose are read and cleaned on your device; the cleaned copy is saved to your library. If you choose to replace the originals, the system asks you to confirm before deleting them.

To show which photos are already clean, the app reads the metadata of the photos displayed on screen, on your device. This result is kept in memory only and is never stored.

What we collect

Nothing. No account, no analytics or usage tracking, no advertising or advertising identifiers, no crash or diagnostics reporting beyond what the app stores provide, and no third-party SDK that sends data anywhere. There is no Free Metadata Cleaner server. Cleaning a photo or video never uses the network, at all: turn on airplane mode and clean one to check for yourself. The only network request the app can ever make is described under “Location” below, and it only ever happens if you ask for it.

Temporary files and history

The app keeps no history and no database. Temporary files created while cleaning are deleted after each item and purged when the app starts.

Deleted originals

Originals that are deleted remain in your system's trash (such as “Recently Deleted” or the trash) for about 30 days, with their metadata. The app cannot empty it: do it yourself if you need the originals gone at once.

iCloud and cloud photos

If a photo is stored in iCloud and not on your device, the operating system may download it before the app can process it. That transfer is made by the system, under the provider's own terms, not by the app.

Location

When a photo contains a location, the app shows the coordinates as text, which stays on your device. Two actions send that one photo's position off your device, only when you choose them, each time: “Open in…” hands the coordinates to the maps application you select, under its own privacy policy; “Show the map” asks you to confirm first (“Showing the map sends this photo's position to a map service. Nothing else is sent.”), then loads a small map from OpenStreetMap for that one position. OpenStreetMap receives the coordinates and, as with any web request, technical details like your IP address; it does not receive your name, an account, or anything else about you or your other photos. See OpenStreetMap's own privacy policy. Outside of these two explicit actions, the app never sends a photo's location, or anything else, anywhere.

Optional support

The app is free. If you wish, you can leave a tip. Tips are processed by the store or by a third-party payment page under their own terms and privacy policy; the app receives no payment or personal details, and nothing from the app is sent to them. A tip unlocks nothing.

Free Metadata Cleaner is a small independent app. Answers to the most common questions are below.

Contact: metadata-cleaner-contact@pixeon.net, or use the form below.
We do our best to reply within a few days. To help us, tell us your device model, its system version and what you were doing. Please do not send private photos.

What data does the app store or send?

None. It keeps no history, has no account and no server. Details in the privacy policy.

How do I clean a photo?

  1. Open the app and allow access to your library when asked.
  2. Select the photos or videos to clean.
  3. Choose what to remove, and whether the originals are replaced or a cleaned copy is created.
  4. Confirm. A summary shows what was removed and any file that could not be processed.

Where do the cleaned copies go?

To your photo library. The library date of the original is kept, so a cleaned photo does not jump to the top of your gallery.

I chose “replace originals” but the originals still exist.

Deleted originals stay in the system trash (such as “Recently Deleted” or the trash) for about 30 days, with their metadata. Empty the trash to remove them immediately. If you decline the system's deletion prompt, the originals are kept and the cleaned copies are still added.

Which files are supported?

Photos in JPEG, HEIC, AVIF, PNG, WebP and GIF, and videos in MP4, MOV and 3GP (more formats are being added). A file the app cannot clean is left untouched and listed in the summary with the reason, without stopping the rest of the batch.

Why does the app need access to my photos?

To list the photos you can choose from and to save the cleaned copies. Where your system requires it, the app also asks for the permission to read the location stored in photos: without it the system hides the location, so the app could not show you what a photo reveals. Nothing is uploaded.

How can I check that nothing leaves my phone?

Turn on airplane mode and clean a photo: it works the same. The only exception is the map: if you tap “Show the map” on a photo's location and confirm, that one position is sent to OpenStreetMap to display a map, and nothing else. See “Location” above.

Which languages are available?

English, French, German and Arabic.
