"Whenever you take a picture, shoot a video or create a document 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.
?? Who created the document?
Metadata is sometimes very useful — for instance when sorting holiday photos.
As soon as you share files 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 file directly! That way you stay anonymous and safe on the Internet, while your friends can still admire your cute cat."

"Some people like Facebook and co. to know where their picture was taken so that it can be easily geotagged. Or for whatever reason. That's okay.
Some people don't like that. That's also okay.
Scrambled Exif (pronounced egg sif) is definitely for the latter group of people.
So you don't want to share all the metadata your phone stores for every picture?
This Android app will remove all this data before sharing. Just share a picture like you'd normally do and choose Scrambled Exif. A moment later, the share 'dialog' will reappear. Just share with the app you intended to share with in the first place. Et voilà!"
