Why people compare MetaRemove and Metadata2Go
Metadata2Go is widely used for quick online EXIF and metadata inspection/removal across many file types. Convenience is the appeal: open a site, upload, download.
That convenience has a privacy trade-off: the file leaves your device. MetaRemove is designed so selected media can be inspected and cleaned locally in the browser instead.
Choose Metadata2Go if you are fine uploading and want a familiar online utility. Choose MetaRemove if file content should stay on your device and you need batch plus Pro video tools.
