ExifCleaner
ExifCleaner is a lightweight, free utility for removing EXIF metadata from photos and videos. EXIF data includes timestamps, GPS coordinates, camera settings, lens information and other sensitive metadata that can reveal when and where images were taken. Users drag photos into ExifCleaner, select the metadata they wish to remove, and the app strips those details before sharing or uploading the image. It is widely used by privacy-conscious photographers, journalists, and anyone who regularly shares images online but wants to protect location or device information.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionExifCleaner is a free, open-source utility and there is no clear evidence of a native Apple Silicon build in the available search results—the IsAppSiliconReady database last checked it in December 2020 and found no testing data at that time. Given that we are now in May 2026 and Rosetta 2 will be removed in September 2028, you should contact the developer (szTheory) directly to ask whether a native build exists or is planned. If the app is still Intel-only and the developer is no longer actively maintaining it, you will need to find an alternative before macOS 28 ships. Several native Apple Silicon EXIF-stripping tools exist as alternatives—including command-line options via Homebrew (e.g., exiftool), built-in macOS tools like Preview and Photos (which can strip metadata from individual images), or dedicated paid apps like Gemini Photos or Image View Studio if you prefer a graphical interface. The simplest immediate step is to verify the developer's status and ask directly.
