BlankFile

What BlankFile is

BlankFile is an iOS app for viewing, editing, and removing photo metadata. Its free viewer displays tags such as date, GPS location, camera model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, and copyright. Users can inspect a GPS location on a map and edit or remove it with a pin drop. The app supports IPTC fields, including keywords, captions, and copyright, and documents JPEG, HEIC, and TIFF support. RAW support is described as planned for a future update.

BlankFile says photo processing happens on-device and that it collects, stores, transmits, or shares no personal, photo, metadata, or usage data. It requests access so users can select photos, uses Add Only permission when saving edited copies, and says it does not access the library in the background or request device location. The app requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Its free plan covers viewing photo tags; the Pro one-time purchase costs 6.99 EUR and adds editing any metadata field, batch editing up to 50 photos, and reusable templates. BlankFile offers email support and says it typically responds within 48 hours.
