Our take

Choose this when the cleaning needs to happen on the phone itself, which is where most oversharing actually occurs, right before you hit send. It’s open-source, MIT-licensed, and refreshingly simple. The limit is narrow format support, JPEG, PNG and WebP only, so it won’t touch video or other file types. As a pre-share habit on Android it does its one job cleanly, just don’t expect it to be your only metadata tool.

ExifEraser license, in plain English
MIT
Permissive

Do almost anything: use, change, and ship it, even inside closed-source products. The only condition is keeping the copyright notice.

Permits

  • Commercial use
  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Private use

Requires

  • License and copyright notice

Does not provide

  • Liability cover
  • Warranty

Why it matters: Permissive licensing lets anyone reuse this, including inside closed products. That is freedom to build on, but no guarantee that downstream copies stay open.
