ExifCleaner
ExifCleaner is a fast, free, and privacy-focused desktop utility that removes EXIF metadata and other identifying information from photos, videos, and PDFs before sharing. Many users rely on it to strip location data, timestamps, camera details, and other sensitive metadata that can inadvertently reveal personal information when files are shared online or with others. The app offers fine-grained control—users can see exactly what will be removed before committing, view before-and-after diffs of metadata fields, and choose to preserve specific attributes like image orientation if needed. It's available in multiple languages and supports a simple drag-and-drop workflow, making metadata removal accessible to non-technical users.

The latest version available via Homebrew is 3.6.0 (compared to the previously noted 1.3.0), indicating ongoing development. You can download the current native build directly from the GitHub releases page. Since the app is under active development with recent updates and already supports Apple Silicon, you should update to the latest version and you'll have full native support on your Apple Silicon Mac without relying on Rosetta 2.
