Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 4, Documentation: 5, Utility: 5)

Meta-Stripper is a local tool for removing metadata (EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, and C2PA/JUMBF data) from images by re-encoding them, with verification that known metadata markers are absent. It emphasizes honesty about limitations, such as not defeating invisible watermarks or perceptual fingerprinting, making it useful for privacy-conscious users.

Target audience: privacy-conscious users, photographers, developers handling image uploads
