See what your photos reveal.

A photo can carry more than it shows: the device, where it was taken, the time, sometimes the author. EXIF Lens shows common photo metadata, then saves a cleaned copy with personal details removed.

Processing

Entirely on your iPhone and iPad

Network access

None for your photos. They stay on device; the App Store handles the purchase.

Originals

Never modified — cleaning writes a new file

Price

Free to inspect · US$1.99 one-time unlock (your App Store shows the local price)

What it shows

EXIF Lens reads the metadata blocks a camera and an editing app write into a file, and groups them so the important parts are easy to find.

Group	Typical fields
Camera	Make, model, lens, serial number, owner
Exposure	Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, flash, white balance
Location	GPS coordinates, altitude, GPS timestamp
Dates	Captured, digitised, UTC offset
Author & rights	Artist, copyright, title, keywords, caption
Image	Pixel dimensions, orientation, colour profile

What it removes

Cleaning produces a separate file with the identifying metadata stripped. JPEG and PNG are rewritten without re-encoding: the compressed pixels are copied through untouched, so there is no second round of compression, and the colours do not shift. HEIC, TIFF and other formats are re-encoded; supported RAW photos are exported as JPEG. The copy keeps the original display orientation.

Reading a photo is free. Cleaning is unlocked by a single one-time purchase of US$1.99 — permanent, with no subscription, no account and no renewal. The App Store charges the equivalent amount in your own currency and shows that exact price on the purchase screen.

The original file is never touched. EXIF Lens copies your photo into its own scratch space, works only on that copy, and discards it when the app goes to the background. Saving a cleaned result writes a new item to your photo library.

Who it is for

Anyone posting photos publicly who would rather not publish the location of their home.
