ExifCleaner

ExifCleaner lets users strip EXIF and other metadata from photos, videos, and PDFs by dragging files or folders onto its window. The tool processes the input instantly, producing clean copies while preserving optional elements such as orientation. It supports batch operations, handling dozens to thousands of files in a single session, and provides a side‑by‑side view of metadata before and after removal.

The application runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux without network access or telemetry, and its open‑source code can be inspected to verify privacy claims. Users can fine‑tune which metadata fields are removed, keep extended attributes, or save copies of the original files. A built‑in language selector offers 24 languages, and the interface automatically matches the operating system’s light or dark theme.

Supported formats include common image types (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF), video containers (MP4, MOV, M4A), and PDF documents. The software is released under an open‑source license, is free to use, and is positioned for anyone needing a straightforward, private way to clean metadata from media files.
