Scrambled Exif

The Mission of Scrambled Exif

• Protecting your digital footprint is an act of empowerment.

• Scrambled Exif (pronounced "eggsif") is designed to give you total control over the stories your photos tell.

• By removing hidden metadata before you post, you ensure that your private locations and personal details remain yours alone.

How to Share with Confidence

• Select the image you wish to share from your gallery.

• Choose Scrambled Exif as the initial destination.

• Wait a brief moment for the app to scrub the data.

• When the share menu reappears, simply select your intended social platform or messaging app.

• Your photo is now clean and ready for the world.

Transparency and Technical Access

• This project is built on the foundation of open-source freedom, and the code is available on GitLab for anyone to review or improve.

• The app requires the Read External Storage permission solely to access the images you wish to protect.

• Global accessibility is a priority; you can contribute to the mission by helping translate the interface through our Transifex projects.

Essential Knowledge for the User

• Most Android cameras save photos in JPEG format, which automatically includes EXIF data.

• This app focuses on clearing those invisible digital signatures.

• For added security, the app can automatically rename your files to remove any original identifying information.

• While this tool is a powerful ally in privacy, it is always wise to perform a final check of your files before sharing sensitive content.

The Philosophy Behind the Name

• The name and icon serve as a lighthearted tribute to the simplicity of eggs.

• Though the app technically deletes data rather than "scrambling" it, the name reflects a love for the culinary world—specifically huevos fritos.

• This tool is a passion project that combines digital security with a celebration of the simple things that bring us joy.

A New Way to Share

• Embrace the freedom of the digital age without the weight of surveillance.

• By taking this small step in your sharing routine, you are contributing to a more private and intentional internet for everyone.
