Whenever you take a picture, additional metadata is saved in the image file.
Most smartphones do not inform you about this.
Metadata can look like this:
• 🕑 On which day was the picture taken, and at what time?
• 🗺️ And where exactly?
• 📷 Which camera or smartphone was used?
• 🔧 What camera settings were used?
• 📝 Notes of the photographer or the camera?
• 📌 More and more often, even exact GPS coordinates are saved in your photo.
Metadata is sometimes very useful — for instance when sorting holiday photos.
As soon as you share photos with others via social media, all this info is visible publicly.
Data collectors and stalkers are more easily able to discover your place of residence or workplace from the metadata or draw conclusions about your daily routine.
Tracking services create more comprehensive advertising profiles and sell your data to other organizations.
Use the Metadata Remover to easily view all that data, remove it entirely, and then share the anonymized photo directly! That way you stay anonymous and safe on the Internet, while your friends can still admire your cute cat.
Happy sharing! 😽

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be rocks.poopjournal.metadataremover is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
No earlier build is on record for Metadata Remover, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Metadata Remover, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
