A photo can contain its capture location and camera details. A PDF can carry an author name or creation date in its document properties. Revault lets you clean supported files inside an unlocked vault, without sending them to an online editing service.
Choose each item
Touch and hold a downloaded photo, video or PDF and choose Remove personal metadata. Confirm the replacement after reviewing its format limitations. Its folder, tags and favourite status stay the same, and replacing an item does not use another file slot.
Set a default for new imports
In the vault’s Media optimization settings, enable Remove personal metadata for new imports from Files, Photos, the camera and other apps’ share sheets. This encrypted preference is off by default and applies per vault, per device. Older items are not cleaned automatically.
Clean locally, then encrypt
Cleaning happens on your device before encryption. A selected item stays intact until its cleaned replacement is fully encrypted and saved. If cleaning or saving fails, the current item remains. Optional sync transfers the encrypted replacement using that vault’s chosen provider.
Understand the format changes
Still photos become PNGs with orientation applied and may use more storage. Videos keep supported audio and video tracks while source tags and timed metadata are omitted. PDFs are fully rewritten to remove document properties and XMP; interactive features or attachments may change or be lost.
How it works
Unlock the vault and download the item to this device if needed.
Touch and hold the item and choose Remove personal metadata.
Review the format changes and confirm to replace only that item.
To clean future imports automatically, enable the vault’s metadata-stripping default in Media optimization.
