I'm looking for an Android app that strips EXIF from photos before I upload them somewhere. I really care mostly about removing geolocation. I searched on F-Droid, I didn't find much. Has anybody used Scrambled Exif ?

I use scrambled exif. Works well but only when sharing photos, it can't erase metadata from your library.

That is fine to me. I want to remove the geolocation data when sharing photos on public websites like the Fediverse. Thanks.

You can share it to some file browsing apps and save it to your device that way.

That's how I do it with material files

I use ImagePipe, which has worked well for me

Yeah, ImagePipe also resizes large images to defined dimensions and quality, which typically reduces the file size. And the app takes all of one megabyte, instead of over 150 that Image Toolbox takes.
Although I have a weird issue that it currently seems to resize smaller images to the target dimensions too, even though 'max w&h' is selected.

"Photo Metadata Remover" by Syrupy on the Play Store was the tool recommended by the security team at a previous workplace. I rarely need it, but I see it's added ads, so I'd be more tempted to check for a FOSS alternative.
There's always ImageMagick on PC, if you don't mind dealing with them there. It strips EXIF and Adobe metadata from images very well. Or the old "screenshot of a digital photo" trick is still peerless.

You could open the photo and take a screenshot?
artyom@piefed.social · 3 pts · 124d
Screenshots have metadata also 🙂
luthis@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 123d
But the original metadata was removed. Requirements have been fulfilled. I should have been a software developer

I can tell you're a photographer!

Image Toolbox if you're looking for more features.

I use ExifEraser
sanguinepar@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 124d
I've not used it for this purpose, but the (excellent) Photo Editor has a batch edit function and removing metadata appears to be an option:

Scrambled Exif is simple and works well in my experience. You can also try ExifEraser, which I've found works about the same, maybe with a few extra features.

You can turn off geotagging in the camera settings.
steel_for_humans@piefed.social · 6 pts · 124d
That's fair, but I want it, just not for the public. I want to remove Exif rarely, by default I like to have that metadata.

I have not used that part of this tool, but here is one. https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.tech.imageresizershrinker/

I use Piktures it allows you to remove location data before sharing. This way it only removes the data when you want to as opposed to removing it from all pics
