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

3•Gravyt1•5h 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)
