EXIF Magic
Pacific Northwest
What it is
EXIF Magic reads photo metadata, explains the information it contains and lets users remove or rewrite selected details. It identifies 128 fields spanning EXIF, TIFF, IPTC, GPS and manufacturer notes, and provides a plain-language summary of details such as location coordinates, device serial number, camera model, capture date and author. Users can clear all metadata, remove location information or select groups to remove. They can also clean a photo and add a location by map, place name, address, ZIP code or coordinates. The app copies compressed image data without decoding and re-encoding it, preserving image data, dimensions and colour profile. Exports are checked again, and the app will not save one if sensitive metadata remains. Processing happens on the device; the maker says there are no servers, network code or uploads. The app is free, with no in-app purchases, subscription or account. It is available on Android, iOS and macOS.
For and against

The verdict
EXIF Magic combines broad metadata inspection with removal and location-editing tools. Note that replacing an original photo requires full library access and is limited to photos selected from the photo library.
Who it suits
It suits people who want to inspect photo metadata, remove sensitive details or edit location information before sharing images. Its device-only processing and metadata checks may matter to users concerned about photo privacy.
