What BlankFile is

BlankFile is an iOS app for viewing, editing, and removing photo metadata. Its free viewer shows tags such as date, GPS location, camera model, lens, ISO, shutter speed, and copyright. Users can inspect GPS information on a map and change or remove it with a pin drop. IPTC fields including keywords, captions, and copyright are supported. BlankFile documents JPEG, HEIC, and TIFF files, while RAW support is planned for a future update. The app says metadata is rewritten without changing image pixels, preserving Portrait depth, HDR, and Live Photo motion. Pro users can apply the same edits to up to 50 photos and save reusable templates. Processing occurs on-device, and the privacy policy says no personal, photo, metadata, or usage data is collected, stored, transmitted, or shared. The app requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. BlankFile Pro costs 6.99 EUR as a one-time purchase and adds full metadata editing, batch changes, and templates.
