Privacy First Engineering

Why Clean Your Photos Before Sharing Online?

Every digital photo holds hidden metadata that reveals your exact physical location, hardware serial numbers, and daily habits to algorithms, platforms, and strangers.

Eliminate GPS Coordinates

Smartphones automatically embed precise GPS latitude, longitude, and elevation into photos. Privacy Gateway wipes the entire EXIF GPS dictionary so no one can trace your home, workplace, or travel routes.

Device Fingerprint Scrubbing

Camera manufacturer tags, sensor serial numbers, and firmware versions form a persistent hardware fingerprint. Scrubbing these tags prevents cross-site tracking across different forums and image boards.

Face & License Plate Blurring

Apply real-time Gaussian blur circles directly onto detected faces, children, bystander likenesses, license plates, or credit card numbers before posting to Reddit, Craigslist, or social media.

Zero Server Uploads

Unlike cloud scrubbers that store copies of your private photos on remote servers, Privacy Gateway compiles directly to HTML5 Canvas and local typed memory. Zero telemetry. Zero storage risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Privacy Gateway upload my images to any server?

No. All analysis, metadata extraction, EXIF stripping, and face blurring run 100% inside your web browser’s JavaScript sandbox. You can verify this in your browser’s Developer Tools → Network tab.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once you open the web application, you can disconnect your internet connection or turn on airplane mode. The application remains fully functional offline.

What file formats are supported?

Standard JPEG, JPG, and PNG images containing EXIF, GPS, TIFF, and IPTC metadata blocks are fully supported.

Where should I share this before posting?

Use Privacy Gateway whenever you sell items on marketplaces (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace), post photos of your neighborhood or children on Reddit or Discord, or upload photos to public forums.

Is there a mobile app?

Coming soon! Native iOS and Android apps with Apple Photos / Android system Share Extension integration are currently under development so you can scrub media directly from your phone's photo library before messaging or uploading.
