Show HN: Free Guides to Understand and Remove EXIF Metadata from Images (exif-cleaner.com)
3 points by FrankSaaSDev 100 days ago
Hi HN,

I’ve been building a small privacy tool called Exif Cleaner that removes metadata from images directly in the browser.

While working on it, I realized many people don’t actually know:

what EXIF metadata is

how much data photos contain

how location and device info can leak

So I started writing simple guides explaining EXIF metadata and how to remove it.

The goal is to make privacy concepts around photos easier to understand for non-technical users.

Current guides include topics like:

What EXIF metadata is

How to remove metadata from images

Why photos contain hidden information

Everything is free and the cleaner runs locally in the browser (no uploads).

Guide section: https://exif-cleaner.com/guide

Would love feedback on the guides or ideas for new ones.
