A toolbox that stays in the browser.

These tools deliberately avoid server-side uploads and storage. Files are read locally with the File API and results disappear when the page is refreshed.

Privacy checklist

πŸ“· Photo metadata (EXIF) viewer

Choose an image to see, locally, whether it embeds GPS coordinates, a timestamp or camera/device info. Nothing is uploaded β€” parsing happens entirely in your browser.

Works on JPEG files, which are the most common source of embedded GPS data. If GPS coordinates are found, do not post the original file β€” use the privacy copy or redaction tool below first.

πŸ–Ό Photo redaction studio

Load a photo, drag boxes over faces, license plates, addresses or documents, then export a flattened copy. The original file is never modified or uploaded β€” this creates a new local copy only.

Draw with mouse or touch. This performs pixel-level redaction (the covered area is fully overwritten), unlike a blur filter which can sometimes be reversed.

Image privacy copy

Choose an image. The browser creates a new JPEG copy through a canvas, which strips EXIF metadata from the exported copy since canvas re-encoding does not carry it over. Keep the original evidence separately.

Text redaction helper

Paste sensitive text and replace obvious email addresses, phone numbers and URLs with placeholders. Review manually before publishing.

Username / identifier audit

Data-broker / people-search workflow

  1. Search your name, old addresses, phone numbers and usernames.
