Scatto Sicuro helps you check what a photo reveals before you share it — entirely inside your browser, with nothing ever uploaded to a server.
The problem
Most smartphones silently embed EXIF metadata inside every photo file: GPS coordinates accurate to a few meters, the exact device model, and the precise date and time of the shot. That data survives in the original file even when nothing suspicious is visible in the image itself — a photo of your living room, your kids, or a product you're selling can quietly reveal your home address.
What it does
Drop a JPEG or TIFF photo into the tool. It reads the EXIF data client-side, using the exif-js library, and shows a clear table: GPS coordinates decoded to a readable location, camera/device make and model, capture date, and software tag. If anything sensitive is found, a "Remove metadata" button re-encodes the image through an HTML canvas, stripping every EXIF field while keeping the visual quality. You can then download the cleaned file, or save it straight to your phone's gallery via the Web Share API.
Extra: spotting AI-generated images
Since missing or inconsistent EXIF data is one of the clearest signals that a photo was generated rather than shot, the site also includes a short practical guide on recognizing AI-generated images: missing metadata, hands/teeth/text artifacts, repeating textures, inconsistent shadows, and C2PA content credentials.
Why it's different
No account, no upload, no tracking of the image itself — everything happens in JavaScript in your own browser. The interface is currently in Italian, aimed first at Italian users worried about oversharing location data on social media and marketplaces, with more languages planned.
