remove exif data

수요 읽기
두 모델이 독립적으로 평가 (측정 아님, 애널리스트 의견)
Opus와 Codex 두 AI의 읽기입니다. 측정된 수요가 아니라 판단이에요. 둘이 갈리면 그만큼 불확실하다는 뜻입니다.

리뷰가 말하는 불만
경쟁앱 리뷰 90개에서 추출
- “Absurd amount of advertisements. Deleted.”
- “Every function causes an annoying ad to pop up.”
- “the ads make this a worthless and unusable app”
- “Can only edit data for one picture at a time, and then watch a 15 second advertisement that plays out loud with no warning.”
Position as a calm, no-interstitial tool. One-time unlock instead of ad-supported free tier. Ad-free is itself a marketable feature here.
- “Anytime I try to do anything I get a pop up that says "failed"”
- “Crashes every time I try to use the app.”
- “While editing the dates on batches of photos the app will crash and shutdown.”
- “Now when I go to open a photo in the app, it just takes me to the home page.”
Reliability is the differentiator. Test on huge libraries (one user has 70k+ photos) and on iPadOS. Regression-test every update before shipping.
- “if you used the "remove all metadata" option on a photo, it does not do that and keeps the time and date”
- “I can erase or change the metadata with this app, but once I save the file the old metadata returns”
- “it removes Everything else BUT the time and date”
Verify removal with a second pass read of the output file and show a clear before/after diff. Trust is the whole product.
- “Doesn't do video, description says photo and video”
- “it tells you that it CANNOT read heic format photos... and instead converts them to a poor quality jpeg”
- “the file this app saves is significantly different and lower quality than the original”
- “Makes my transparent background lose transparency”
- “Even the Pro version of this app ($12.99 USD) limits export to JPG”
Support HEIC, PNG (with alpha), and video metadata removal. Preserve original bytes except metadata strip. Nobody in this list does all three well.
- “App does not allow you to batch edit large amounts of photos, maxes out at 40”
- “Does not offer SELECT ALL…must pick every pic in a group”
- “Can't select file by folder or date”
Drag-select, select-all-album, filter by has-GPS or has-EXIF, and unbounded batch sizes.
- “a popup up screen came up requesting more info and credit card info... within minutes there were three fraudulent charges on my card”
- “To Remove Private Meta Data, User Have To Give Private Data To This App !!”
- “Said free now wants credit card”
A privacy tool that hoards data is dead on arrival. No tracking, no account, on-device only, clear one-time price. State it plainly in the listing.
1인이 만들 수 있나
개발 난이도와 리스크를 분해
Very doable solo. PhotoKit plus ImageIO on device, no backend. The hard parts are format fidelity (HEIC, PNG alpha, RAW edge cases) and honest claims about what iOS permits removing. A clean weekend prototype exists, but shipping a trustworthy version is a focused month.
만든다면, 이렇게
1페이지 기획서 (출발점, 정답 아님)
A quiet, private EXIF remover that strips metadata from photos and videos without re-encoding, ads, or subscriptions.
iPhone owners sharing photos to marketplaces, social media, or dating apps who want GPS and device info gone in two taps.
Existing apps bury a simple task under interstitial ads, mangle file quality, skip date/time fields, ignore video, and in one reported case exposed users to card scams.
- ·Interstitial or audio ads
- ·Subscription pricing
- ·Cloud upload of photos
- ·Social features or account signup
Pick photo or photos, tap Remove Metadata, save copy, show before/after metadata list proving it worked. Nothing else on screen.
Free for 3 photos per day, one-time $4.99 unlock for unlimited batch and video. No subscription, no ads.
솔직한 경고
이 기회의 가장 큰 함정
The category leader is free with 6k reviews and ad money, so you only win on trust and quality, meaning your app must never mangle a file or mislabel what iOS allows removing.
