This is a demonstration with fictitious data.
From this photo, the following can be derived: your location (Berlin-Mitte), your device (iPhone 15 Pro), and a unique serial number that links ALL your photos.
What this data can mean in the wrong hands:
- Stalkers can reconstruct your address
- Employers can track your leisure locations
- Data brokers link ALL your photos to a single profile
- Insurance companies can infer lifestyle patterns

What makes MetaDataGone different
Privacy X-Ray
Not a dry list. A visual threat analysis that shows what stalkers, companies, and authorities can derive from your metadata.
Your browser. Your files.
Other tools upload your files to external servers. MetaDataGone processes everything exclusively in your browser. We cannot see your files, even if we wanted to.
Other tools: Upload → Server → Processing → Download
MetaDataGone: File → Your Browser → Done
Verified clean
After every cleanup, your file is automatically re-analyzed. You see the proof: Score 87 → Score 0. No more metadata.

After every cleanup, your file is automatically re-analyzed. You see the result: before Score X, after Score 0.

During cleanup, animated GIF frame data is lost. The result is a static image. You are informed before cleanup starts.
Steganographic watermarks (invisible patterns in image data), filenames, and network metadata during transmission. We recommend additional measures for maximum security.
The basic version is free. Premium features start at a one-time €9.99.
