About Scanly.co
Professional photo metadata scanner helping photographers, journalists, and privacy-conscious users understand and control their image data.
Our Mission
Every digital photo contains hidden data called EXIF metadata — camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and even device serial numbers. While useful for photographers, this data can pose serious privacy risks when photos are shared online.
Scanly.co was created to give everyone free, instant access to professional-grade photo analysis tools. Understanding your photo metadata shouldn't require expensive software or technical expertise.
What We Offer
Our suite includes 17+ free tools:
- Metadata analysis — extract and display all EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data in a readable format
- Privacy protection — calculate privacy risk scores and strip sensitive metadata before sharing
- AI detection — identify AI-generated images and detect photo manipulation
- Batch processing — analyze up to 20 photos at once with CSV/JSON export
- Scanner tools — QR codes, barcodes, OCR text extraction, PDF parsing, receipts, file hashes
Privacy First
We practice what we preach. Most tools process images entirely in your browser — files never leave your device. Server-side tools (EXIF Checker, EXIF Remover) upload files securely via SSL and auto-delete them within one hour. No tracking cookies, no advertising profiles.
