DropTidy

DropTidy is a privacy-first tool designed to remove hidden metadata from your photos before you share or upload them. It focuses on stripping EXIF, GPS, camera details, and other embedded information that can reveal when, where, and how an image was captured. The primary purpose is to help individuals and organizations protect their privacy without altering the visual quality of their images.

The tool scans image files for common and extended metadata fields and securely removes them, ensuring that no sensitive information remains in the exported version. DropTidy supports standard photo formats and is built to handle batches of images efficiently, making it suitable for both occasional and frequent use. Its interface is designed to be straightforward: users can drag and drop photos, review what data is present, and then export clean versions. Because it is privacy-first, DropTidy emphasizes local processing and minimal data collection, reducing reliance on external servers wherever possible.
