exexif: a safer handoff for iNaturalist photos

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based photo cleaner that strips GPS metadata, preserves capture dates, and prepares images for iNaturalist.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The workflow combines file scrubbing with platform-specific presets: the iNaturalist option keeps the capture date, removes coordinates, and targets a 2048-pixel long edge. A separate coarsening mode rounds location to about 10 km, while the page recommends assigning sensitive locations manually in iNaturalist. The current development build says JPEG, PNG, and WebP scrubbing and ZIP downloads work; HEIC and RAW conversion, resizing, and counters are listed for later phases.
