Suite Support & FAQs
Master answers for the Strip Suite. Learn how our apps protect your privacy across photos, videos, and more.
01 How can I contact the Strip team?
The Strip team can be reached directly via our Contact Us page. We respond to all technical support and feature requests within 24–48 hours to ensure your privacy needs are met.
02 Do Strip Suite apps upload my files anywhere?
No. Every application in the Strip Suite operates on a 100% Local-First architecture. All processing happens entirely on your device's physical hardware, meaning your photos and data never leave your phone. You can verify this by auditing our open-source engine.
03 What types of files can the suite process?
The Strip Suite currently supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats through our flagship Strip Photo app. We are actively expanding the suite to include forensic-grade scrubbing for MP4 (Video), MP3 (Audio), and PDF documents later this year.
04 Will my photo or video quality change after using the Strip Suite?
No. Our tools utilize non-destructive, lossless processing paths for all metadata sanitization. While invisible tracking tags are incinerated, the visual and auditory quality of your files remains untouched. Download Strip Photo to experience lossless privacy.
05 Why do the Strip apps need internet permission?
Internet permission is used exclusively for Google Play license verification and Pro feature activation. The core metadata removal engine works fully offline and never transmits your data. For maximum transparency, you can check our open-source repository.
06 Is the Strip Suite open source?
Yes. We follow an 'Open Intent' philosophy where our core processing engine is open source under the AGPLv3 license. This allows you to verify exactly how we handle your metadata and confirms our 'Zero-Cloud' commitment. Review the source on GitHub.
07 What is the 'Zero-Cloud' promise for the Strip Suite?
The 'Zero-Cloud' promise means we have no servers, no databases, and no remote tracking. We believe privacy should be enforced by hardware architecture, not just a policy. This ensures your sensitive location history stays in your hands.
08 Can I remove metadata from my entire gallery at once with Strip Photo?
Yes. Strip Photo Pro includes a high-performance Batch Mode that can process up to 100 photos in a single tap. This is the most efficient way to scrub years of location data from your library. Upgrade to Pro in the Play Store.
09 Does using the Strip Suite protect me from AI training?
Yes. By stripping the 'contextual footprint' (GPS, device ID, and timestamps) from your files, the Strip Suite prevents your photos from being linked to your identity in global AI training datasets. Protect your digital likeness by scrubbing before you share.
