App: Photo Anonymizator
Developer: Bjoern Goerke
Genres: Photo & Video, Utilities

Photo Anonymizator removes all non-essential metadata from photo files of a wide range of formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC, RAW, ...) that might for example be privacy relevant (like certain EXIF information, date/time information, GPS location information, camera make/model, etc.) without re-encoding the images themselves thus avoiding any change in image quality.

While many other tools simply remove metadata from JPEG or PNG files by loading image files and saving them back without metadata information, and those approaches modify the encoding of the picture itself, Photo Anonymizator removes or overwrites only metadata properties.  It therefore preserves the exact photo and photo settings (e.g. profile information) that your camera has originally stored in the image file.
