About ImagePipe
ImagePipe sits between your gallery or camera and the app you share to. When you share an image through it, the app removes EXIF tags such as location and camera details and reduces the file size, then passes the cleaned image on.
It is written in Java, translated into many languages through Weblate and distributed through F-Droid. Development is active, with recent commits updating it for current Android versions.
