What is Photo Anonymizator?
Photo Anonymizator is a native macOS photo utility for removing non-essential metadata from image files before you share, archive, or publish them. It helps users strip privacy-relevant details such as EXIF, GPS location, timestamps, camera make and model information, and other embedded metadata while keeping the underlying image data unchanged. The app is aimed at photographers, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants cleaner files for posting online or sending to others. It supports common formats including JPG, PNG, HEIC, and various RAW files, making it useful in personal and professional photo workflows. Photo Anonymizator is published by Bgoerke and is distributed for Mac through the App Store.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app is designed to work with photo files you choose, and access to those files is normal for its purpose. Its main privacy effect is positive for most users because it removes embedded metadata that can reveal location, time, device, or editing details. As with any photo utility, review a few output files first so you know which metadata is being removed before processing a large batch.
Recommendation: Keep Photo Anonymizator if you use it to prepare images for sharing, publishing, or archiving with less embedded metadata. If you no longer use it, removing the app should only affect this anonymizing workflow and not your original photos unless you choose to overwrite files yourself.
