BlankFile
What it is
BlankFile is an iOS app for viewing, editing, and removing photo metadata, including GPS, camera details, and copyright information. Its free viewer displays tags such as date, location, camera model, lens, ISO, and shutter speed. For photos containing GPS data, users can view the location on a map and change or remove it with a pin. The app also supports IPTC fields such as keywords, captions, and copyright. BlankFile supports JPEG, HEIC, and TIFF; RAW support is described as planned for a future update. The app says it processes photos on-device and collects, stores, transmits, or shares no personal, photo, metadata, or usage data. It requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The free plan includes metadata viewing; the one-time Pro purchase costs €6.99 and adds editing any metadata field, batch changes for up to 50 photos, and reusable templates. BlankFile says edits rewrite metadata without changing image pixels, preserving Portrait depth, HDR, and Live Photo motion.
