Remove or replace EXIF, GPS, device IDs, timestamps, and authorship in JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, RAW, PDF, DOCX, MP4, MOV — entirely on your machine. --- Why DMS Most \"metadata cleaners\" have two problems: 1. They send your file to a remote server. That's the opposite of privacy. 2. They wipe metadata completely. An empty metadata block is itself a signal — recipients (and forensic tools) can tell something was hidden. DMS solves both. It runs entirely offline with no network calls. And beyond wiping, it can spoof — replacing GPS coordinates with plausible nearby points, device IDs with realistic profiles from a bundled database, and timestamps with shifted but believable dates. Files look ordinary, but the real underlying data is gone. --- How DMS compares Feature DMS ExifTool mat2 ImageOptim -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------------- --------------- -------------- Fully offline ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Metadata removal ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Metadata spoofing (plausible noise) ✅ ⚠️ scriptable ❌ ❌ Smart GPS spoofing (same region) ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌ Realistic device-profile substitution ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌ Watch folder automation ✅ ❌ ❌ ⚠️ Drag-and-drop GUI ✅ PySide6 ❌ (CLI only) ⚠️ basic ✅ macOS only CLI for scripting ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ Cross-platform Win / macOS / Linux all Linux / macOS macOS Supported formats JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, RAW, PDF, DOCX, MP4, MOV very many many images License MIT Artist","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/davvikq","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/davvikq/deceptive-metadata-shredder/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
