Scrambled Exif: Remove the metadata from your pictures before sharing them

Some people like Face­book and co. to know where their picture was taken so that it can be easily geotag­ged. Or for whate­ver reason. That’s okay.

Some people don’t like that. That’s also okay.

Scram­bled Exif (pronoun­ced egg sif) is defi­ni­tely for the latter group of people.

So you don’t want to share all the meta­data your phone stores for every picture?

This Android app will remove all this data before sharing. Just share a picture like you’d normally do and choose Scram­bled Exif. A moment later, the share 'dialog’ will reap­pear. Just share with the app you inten­ded to share with in the first place. Et voilà!

Requi­red Android Permis­si­ons:

• READ_EXTER­NAL_STORAGE to read the images other apps share with it.

Misc Stuff and Facts

• Basi­cally, Exif is used by jpeg, which is the format in which your Android camera saves pictu­res. If you want to know more about Exif, check the Wiki­pe­dia.

• Scram­bled Exif also rena­mes the files.

• Please don’t heavily rely on the data being dele­ted. Scram­bled Exif does its job pretty well, but it could fail. Always double-check before you share.

• It doesn’t really scram­ble the Exif data, it dele­tes it. So the name is probably stupid. But I like it. The icon doesn’t depict scram­bled eggs either. So the icon is probably stupid. But I like it. And I also happen to be a huge fan of eggs. So this app doesn’t only have a stupid name and an equally stupid icon, it is also my (non-stupid) tribute to eggs. Espe­ci­ally huevos fritos. Because I love them.

• Have fun sharing your pics!
