What Exif Cleaner does
A photo taken on a phone usually carries an EXIF block: where it was taken, on what device, with which settings, and when. Telegram removes that when a picture is sent as a compressed photo, but the moment you send the same file as a document — which is what people do to keep the quality — the metadata travels with it.
This bot handles both halves of the problem. It reads the block and shows you what is actually inside, which is the part that surprises people, and then returns a copy of the file with the metadata removed. Worth running over anything you publish from home: a listing photo, a picture for a forum, an image sent to a stranger.
How to start

FAQ
Does Telegram not remove this by itself?
It does for a compressed photo, but not for the same image sent as a file, which is how people share full quality.
What exactly does it show?
The GPS location if there is one, the device model, camera settings and the date the shot was taken.
