Sanitizr is a powerful Android utility app for cleaning metadata and timestamps from various file types including images, videos, documents, PDFs, archives, and ebooks.

Your files, your privacy. Sanitizr helps you remove hidden data from files before sharing them.

• Scan folders like Downloads, Pictures, and Documents
• Image metadata removal (EXIF: GPS, camera info, etc.)
• Video/audio stream sanitization via FFmpeg (removes tags)
• PDF metadata stripping
• Document metadata cleanup (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Ebook sanitization (EPUB .opf metadata)
• Archive support
  • ZIP (.zip)
  • TAR (.tar)
  • GZ (.gz)
  • BZ2 (.bz2)
  • XZ (.xz)
• Simple UI for selecting and sanitizing files in bulk

Sanitizr parses file types using known extensions and applies file-type-specific cleaning:

• Images: Clears EXIF tags using ExifInterface
• PDFs: Uses OpenPDF to remove PDF info
• Office Docs: Apache POI strips metadata
• Videos/Audio: Leverages FFmpegKit to drop metadata
• EPUBs: Parses and clears <metadata> from OPF
• Archives: Extract → sanitize → recompress using Commons Compress

• AndroidX
• FFmpegKit
• OpenPDF
• Apache POI
• Commons Compress
• XZ for Java

• Modular sanitization functions (sanitizeImage(), sanitizePdf(), etc.)
• Archive-safe operations with temp files
• Non-destructive fallback if sanitization fails
• Scans /Download, /Documents, /Pictures by default

Sanitizr works offline, never uploads files, and does not retain data after processing.
