Nice work. Client-side stripping is especially important for privacy, since you don’t have to trust a server with the original image. I ran into a similar problem from the opposite angle and ended up building ExifLooter. It focuses on discovering EXIF and geolocation data at scale across image URLs and directories, integrates with OpenStreetMap for visualization, and also includes a metadata-removal feature for cleanup after analysis. Interesting to see more tools pushing awareness that image metadata is still an underrated privacy leak. Also it is official on Kali Linux. - https://github.com/aydinnyunus/exiflooter?tab=readme-ov-file...
In Show HN: I made a tool to strip GPS and EXIF metadata from photos client-side
- exiflooter can detect geolocation directly and display. if you use exiftool, you need to grep the output. - exiflooter can show the location on OpenStreetMap. if you use exiftool, you need to get location and latitude and then copy paste to OpenStreetMap API. - exiflooter can analyze directory for geolocation. - exiflooter can remove metadata from directory of images. - exiflooter works with pipe operation. If you want to give multiple urls to exiflooter, it checks all the urls for geolocation or remove metadata. - for bug hunters you can combine with "waybackurls" which is get the urls from wayback machine. if you get all images from domain and send it to exiflooter. maybe you can gain some money. (bug bounty check READ.me https://github.com/aydinnyunus/exifLooter/blob/main/README.m...)
