See hidden metadata first
Review sensitive fields like GPS coordinates, timestamps, device model, lens details, author fields, and Apple maker metadata before a photo leaves your device.
Why it matters
Photos can reveal more than you meant to share.
PrivaLens helps you spot hidden metadata, remove sensitive fields locally, and share a clean copy with confidence.
What it does
Inspect, clean, and share safer copies.
PrivaLens is built for the moment right before you share: check what your photo reveals, remove it, and send the cleaned version onward.
Remove everything in one tap
PrivaLens re-renders a clean copy so EXIF, GPS, TIFF, IPTC, maker fields, and other embedded metadata are not carried into the shared version.
Works from Photos
Use the Share Extension from Photos or work inside the app. Clean one image carefully or process a selected batch when you need speed.
Private by design
Why pay when free metadata strippers exist?
- 1Free online tools require uploading your photos to someone else's server. PrivaLens never sees your images.
- 2Browser extensions and websites can log, store, or analyze what you upload. PrivaLens runs entirely on your iPhone.
- 3PrivaLens runs without subscriptions, ads, analytics SDKs, or tracking SDKs.
Screenshots
Your photos know too much. PrivaLens helps them forget.
The app shows exactly what it found, confirms when metadata has been removed, and keeps a local history of cleaning activity.
