Image MetaData Stripper 2

This is a transparent, privacy-focused application that completely removes all metadata embedded in your media files, including camera data, GPS coordinates revealing exact locations, camera make and model information, date and time stamps, software and editing history, photographer and copyright details, IPTC press information, XMP metadata, color profiles, thumbnail previews that may contain unedited versions, custom attributes, developer area data, comment headers and all other identifying information.

While providing batch processing for multiple files, automatic .BAK backup creation before processing for safety, intuitive drag-and-drop interface with modern Qt-based graphical user interface, log window showing exactly what metadata was removed, optional timestamp preservation to maintain file organization, dark theme support for reduced eye strain and audio notifications.

The Image MetaData Stripper can process files in the following common formats.
Image Files: png jpg tif exr tga webp bmp ppm; Video Files: mp4 m4v mkv mov avi mpg m2v mpv vob ts m2ts ps webm; Audio Files: m4a mp3 mp2 flac ogg opus ac3 aac wav

Full offline functionality after initial load allowing use without internet connection, lightning-fast C++ performance, with full source code available, making it the perfect solution for photographers, content creators maintaining creative privacy, journalists and activists protecting sources and sensitive locations, social media users preventing platforms from collecting additional data beyond what they explicitly share, privacy advocates taking complete control of their digital footprint, travelers protecting trip information and anyone who values digital privacy and wants to ensure their files contain only the visual information they intend to share without any hidden surveillance data that could compromise their security, location, identity, or personal information.
