About MetaPurge

MetaPurge is a privacy-first utility for locally stripping sensitive EXIF and metadata from your photos.

Unlike other apps that just 'hide' tags, MetaPurge uses a 'nuclear' approach—it physically cuts the metadata segments out of the file bytes.

Key Features:

• 100% Offline: Your photos never leave your device.

• Zero Permissions: No storage or internet permissions required on modern Android.

• Format Support: JPEG, PNG, and WebP.

• Smart Tools: Automatic orientation correction and high-res photo handling.

• Transparent: Full technical metadata view for expert users.

Keep your pixels, lose the tracking.
