Description

Metadata-Delete is a focused privacy utility designed to remove sensitive metadata (EXIF, GPS coordinates, device info, timestamps) from image files before they are shared publicly. Built with Python 3 and common imaging libraries, this tool helps users mitigate unintentional data leakage โ€” a critical concern for journalists, activists, photographers, and privacy-conscious individuals.

Why It Matters:

When you share a photo online, hidden metadata can reveal your location, device model, software used, and even editing history GitHub. This script provides a simple, offline-first solution to sanitize images without altering visual quality

Key Features:

  • ๐Ÿงน Removes EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata blocks from JPEG/PNG images.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Strips geolocation data to prevent location tracking.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Offline execution โ€” no cloud upload, ensuring file confidentiality.
  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Preserves image dimensions and visual fidelity during cleanup.
  • ๐Ÿงช Includes before/after validation screenshots for transparency.
  • โš™๏ธ Simple CLI workflow: `python3 MetaData_Remover.py`
