Smart Fuzzing
Rather than permanently stripping all metadata—which can ruin the chronological order of albums or hide the general city where a photo was taken—Smart Fuzzing allows you to obscure the exact details. Shift timestamps forward or backward by a few hours, or "blur" your GPS coordinates into a random location within a 5-kilometer radius.

How GPS Fuzzing Works
Real-world privacy is rarely binary. If you are selling an item online, you might want buyers to know you are in "Milan, Navigli" without revealing your exact apartment building and floor.
Our GPS fuzzer does not just delete the EXIF tags. Instead, it mathematically shifts the latitude and longitude to a random point within a specified radius (e.g., 2km or 5km), or simply truncates the decimal precision to reduce accuracy to a neighborhood level.
Chronological Shifting
Photographers and journalists often need to prove the sequence of events without revealing the exact hour a photo was taken.
The Timestamp Scrambler alters the date and time tags by a relative offset (e.g., +3 hours or -12 hours). This preserves the perfect chronological order of a sequence of shots, while hiding the true original time.
One card per format. Drag the strip, swipe it, or use the arrow keys once it has focus.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just delete all metadata?
Completely stripping metadata is great for absolute privacy, but it can break album sorting, remove the general location context, and sometimes trigger spam filters on marketplaces. Fuzzing is a compromise between privacy and usability.
Is the original exact location recoverable?
No. The fuzzing happens mathematically and losslessly replaces the original EXIF bytes in the file. Once you save the fuzzed file, the original exact coordinates are permanently gone.
Why is the GPS option disabled for my file?
If the option is disabled, it means the file you loaded does not contain any GPS metadata to begin with. Many social networks and messaging apps automatically strip this data when you send or download a photo.
