People can exploit your social media pictures and so I've made a tool

5•Gravyt1•6mo ago
My project: https://removemd.com/ I'm Jules, a student and developer. I created RemoveMD, a free and privacy-friendly web tool for removing hidden metadata (such as EXIF data from photos or document properties).

Why? Because many people are unaware that files shared online contain sensitive information:

Photos -> GPS location, date, device model

Docs -> author's name, editing history, comments

Attacks can exploit this data for OSINT, tracking habits, feeding AI models, or even identity theft.

Unlike other tools, RemoveMD doesn't store any files. I'd like to make the source code available or make the application front-end-only in the future. For now, everything is processed server-side and then immediately returned, without backup, using Python Pillow. So everything is on temporary variables and is cleared at the end of the process.

Support: JPEG, PNG, PDF, and more to come (MP4, Office, etc.). Goal: A simple, fast, useful, and free tool.

Eventually, I plan to add a lightweight API, other privacy-related tools, and possibly educational content.

Feedback is welcome, especially on formats or features you'd like to see added.

Here is the link again (: https://removemd.com/

I think state-of-art is removing the data client-side (in the browser or downloadable app) For example https://github.com/sectore/exify (MIT license so you'd be in your right to use it)

Wow, thanks for your help! I'll definitely take a look after my vacation! If you're interested in the project, feel free to add me on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jules-esnault-b84b32373

This website is actually a small project aimed solely at acquiring new skills, as I'm a student. I don't think it will last long, but in any case, I'd like to start a new serious project after this one. As I said, I'm currently doing small tests to learn. I'm not even sure if I'll complete this project or continue, but I enjoy learning how project management works.

Thanks again (:

> I'd like to make the source code available or make the application front-end-only in the future.

If it's Python code, what exactly is preventing making a downloadable, locally-running application right now? I would think that if anything it's harder to do a separate web front-end for it.

Gravyt1•6mo ago
For now, the website works with Flask. I would like to create an easy-to-use solution, perhaps directly integrated into the front-end. And keep the back-end part for the premium side. I am a student and this project is mainly to learn not to code but more to manage a project. So I am not even sure to finish it, especially if I see that it does not reimburse the hosting costs, even if the learning side is already great. But I will try to advance as much as possible when I return from my vacation, and maybe do it on my own and relaunch the complete website later. Anyway, if you are interested in the project you can always use the website or add me on LinkedIn: https://www.removemd.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jules-esnault-b84b32373

Thank you for your interest (:
