What it does
Most metadata removers upload your files to a server. MetaScrub does everything locally in your browser — your files never leave your device. Supports images (EXIF: GPS, camera model, timestamps), PDFs, Word docs, and more. See exactly what hidden data a file carries before you strip it. No account. No upload. No limits. 100% free.
See exactly what hidden data your photos carry — GPS location, camera serial, timestamps — then strip it. Runs entirely in your browser. No upload, no signup, no limits.
See exactly what your images are leaking — GPS coordinates, timestamps, camera serial numbers — then strip it out. Everything runs inside your browser. Every photo taken with a phone or camera has a second layer of information stored alongside the pixels. It is called EXIF — Exchangeable Image File Format — and it was designed so photographers could keep track of their own shots. On a modern smartphone it typically records: Alongside EXIF, files often carry XMP blocks written by editing software, IPTC records used by news agencies, and embedded thumbnails. The thumbnail is worth a special mention: it is a separate small copy of the image, and it does not always get updated when the main…from metascrub.sa3413821.workers.dev

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations.
