    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.
