Scrambled Exif Fortune Cookies

About this app

Scrambled Exif (pronounced eggsif) 🥠 helps you remove the metadata in your pictures before you share them.

If you feel like it.

As a plus, for this pro version, you get some cool cookie sayings.
It's mostly a way for you to show your appreciation for my work.

Please check out Scrambled Exif before you buy this app. The scrambling abilities remain the same. With the pro version, you get the coolness of the fortune cookies :)

If you don't want the big Internet companies (or whoever) to know where your pictures were taken don't forget to remove the metadata from them before you share them.

To remove the metadata from a picture, simply share it like you'd normally do and choose Scrambled Exif. A moment later, the share 'dialog' will reappear. Now just share with the app you intended to share with in the first place.

Et voilà!

Required Android Permissions:

★ READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to read the images other apps share with it.

Source Code

★ This app is open source. You can take a look at the code (and contribute if you feel like it) here:

Misc Stuff and Facts

★ Basically, Exif is used by jpeg, which is the format in which your Android camera saves pictures. If you want to know more about Exif, check the Wikipedia.

★ Scrambled Exif also renames the files (this can be disabled).

★ Please don't heavily rely on the data being deleted. Scrambled Exif does its job pretty well, but it could fail. Always double-check before you share.

★ It doesn't really scramble the Exif data, it deletes it. So the name is probably stupid. But I like it. The icon doesn't depict scrambled eggs either. So the icon is probably stupid. But I like it. And I also happen to be a huge fan of eggs. So this app doesn't only have a stupid name and an equally stupid icon, it is also my (non-stupid) tribute to eggs. Especially huevos fritos. Because I love them.

★ Have fun sharing your pics!

Ratings and reviews

Really useful app! It does exactly what it says it does, and I think (literally) couldn't be any simpler or more straight-forward: share to this app, which immediately strips all EXIF data then prompts again for where you'd like to shared the "cleaned" image. Files are optionally renamed... Absolutely zero network connections (data collection, advertising, or otherwise) are ever attempted, so please support the dev(s) by choosing this "pro" option!

excellent app! I used to have the free version, but wanted to contribute to the development of it.

better than a scrambled eggs breakfast burrito from Alinstante 😅 this app makes me happy! (thanks Dev, very worth the cup of coffee upgrade cost) ✊👍👍👍👍

What's new

New in 1.7.12

★ Some maintenance stuff.
★ Also had to introduce a change (not requesting storage permission) for modern Androids, which is very nice, but could cause Scrambled Exif not work with apps that share pics incorrectly. Sorry, couldn't avoid that change due to Play Store policies.
★ If everything completely breaks for you, you'll have to install an older version from F-Droid.
