Remove Geo-tag

😫 The Pain Point

You send a photo of your expensive watch to a buyer. The photo’s EXIF data contains the precise GPS coordinates of your home. Cyberstalking risk is real.

🚀 Agentic Solution

Privacy Scrubber: Removes the hidden data layer while keeping the visible image untouched.

Key Features:

• Safe: Creates a new copy without metadata, never modifying the original.
• Bulk: Cleans entire albums.

⚔️ Phase 1: Commander (Quick Fix)

For a quick scrub.

Prompt:

“Remove Exif metadata (especially GPS) from photo.jpg using Pillow. Save as clean.jpg.”

Result: Safe photo.

🏗️ Phase 2: Architect (Permanent Tool)

For Privacy conscious users.

Engineering Prompt:

**Role:** Python Security Tool Dev
**Task:** Create a "Photo Metadata Scrubber".
**Requirements:**
1.  **GUI:**
    *   Select Folder.
    *   "Scrub" button.
2.  **Logic:**
    *   Open image -> Create new fresh Image object (data=image.getdata()).
    *   This copy process naturally drops the Exif metadata attached to the file header.
    *   Save to 'Cleaned' folder.
3.  **Deliverables:** `scrub_gps.py`, `run.bat` (Windows), `run.sh` (Mac).

🧠 Prompt Decoding

• New Image Method: The safest way to scrub data is not to “delete” tags, but to copy the pixels to a brand new canvas. This ensures absolutely no hidden data is transferred.

🛠️ Instructions

1. Copy Prompt -> Paste -> Run.
2. Select Folder -> Scrub.
