Seeking feedback on a minimalist, browser-based metadata scrubber I built (metadataeraser.com)

I’ve been looking for a dead-simple way to strip EXIF data from photos before uploading to social media without using heavy software. I built metadataeraser.com as a side project.

My goal was zero trackers, zero ads, and keeping the processing client-side (in-browser) so the images never hit a server. I’d love for this community to take a look at the privacy policy and the network tab to see if I missed any ‘leaks.’ Is this something you’d trust for basic privacy hygiene?

Does work offline in a PWA which is nice. Please also add an option to randomise file name.

Cloudflare Analytics and Umami are enabled, so here is a uBlock Origin static filter rule to deal with the latter:

||stats.admk.com/script.js$script,domain=metadataeraser.com,important

Equivalent URL rule:

metadataeraser.com https://stats.admk.com/script.js script block

No.

Thanks for the feedback, I just added that. You can now download cleaned files with a random UUID filename instead of the original name

Also, thank you for your feedback and your honest opinion.

Analytics are now opt-in and the Umami script no longer loads by default. A consent banner asks before anything is loaded. If you decline, zero analytics scripts run. Your choice is stored locally and you can verify in the Network tab.

Better.
