MetadataScrubber

MetadataScrubber shows what a photo carries besides the picture itself, lets you choose what to remove, and then reads the new file back so you can see what is left: GPS position, camera serial numbers, owner names, dates, a built-in preview image and more. It declares no Android permissions at all. There is no internet permission, so it cannot send your photos anywhere, and no storage permission either: pictures come in through the system file picker or a share from your gallery, and go out through the system save screen or a share. Check it yourself before installing: aapt dump permissions <the APK you downloaded> The only line you should see is the package name. - Shows every detail with its value before it removes, grouped in a Red, an Amber and a Green section. - Red and amber details are ticked for removal to start with; green (rotation, colour profile, size and exposure) is kept. - In a JPEG, an HDR gain map is amber and goes too; untick HDR gain map and HDR gain map details to keep HDR photos bright on HDR screens. - Tick a whole colour at once, or open it to choose single details. - Lossless by default: the picture is not saved again unless you crop, resize, convert or remove a sideways rotation. - Crop, resize and convert JPEG, PNG and WebP when you need to. - Reads the result back, so you see what remains before you share. - Neutral file names such as image.minimal.jpg. - Share a photo in from your gallery, then Save or Share the clean copy. JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. HEIC metadata can be removed, but cropping and resizing HEIC are not available in the app, because Android's web engine cannot open HEIC pictures. It cannot remove anything visible in the picture, the file name you choose, a camera's sensor fingerprint, or invisible watermarks in the pixels. The app runs the same files as metadata.stormberry.as, bundled and offline. The build checks that every one is byte for byte identical to the website's copy, apart from one added line in index.html that loads a small Android bridge for saving and sharing.
