Why is my name in my photo?

Many cameras and editors copy the owner name from your account settings into every file they write.

Look inside — Know what your files are saying.

Inspect a file

Before you clean anything, see what’s there. Every field, in plain words, coloured by what it gives away.

Red for a person or a place. Amber for a device or a moment. Green for what’s harmless.
Several files are read together too: “38 of 40 carry the same camera serial”, “22 were taken within 300 m of one spot”. That is the case for cleaning, at the scale where it bites.
Coordinates become a pin on a map and “near Victoria, British Columbia” — both drawn from files inside the app, so no map service is asked. The OpenStreetMap link is there for the exact spot, only when you click.
Export the findings as CSV or JSON. Cells a spreadsheet would execute are neutralised.

Everything on this page runs on your device. Nothing you drop here is uploaded.
