## Metadata Removal
⛔ **Avoid**
- **Random "remove EXIF online" websites** - The photo itself is the data you are protecting, and many of these sites upload it with no privacy policy and no word on retention.

✅ **Instead use**
- [ExifCleaner](https://exifcleaner.com/) - Open source desktop app that cleans image, video and PDF metadata with drag and drop. Cross-platform.
- [ExifTool](https://exiftool.org/) - The reference command-line tool to read and write metadata in almost any file format. Open source, cross-platform.
- [mat2](https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2) - Open source metadata removal tool for images, documents and audio files, usable from the command line or the file manager. Python.
- [QuietMeta](https://quietmeta.app/) - Metadata inspector and remover for photos, PDF and Office documents, with C2PA provenance validation. Cleans without re-encoding and re-reads every cleaned file to prove the result. Web inspector is free (files are processed server-side, held in memory for one request); text cleaning runs fully in the browser; paid offline desktop app for Windows. Proprietary.
