ANFA Layer

Expose Hidden Image Data. Strip It. Seal with SHA-256.

Every photo you take secretly stores your GPS location, camera model, device fingerprint, WiFi network, and timestamps. ANFA Layer exposes all of it — then destroys it permanently. 100% private. Nothing leaves your browser.

Your images may contain GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, and WiFi network names you never intended to share.

How It Works

Step 1 — EXPOSE

Hidden Data Revealed

ANFA Layer reads every EXIF, XMP, and IPTC field embedded in your image — GPS location, camera model, device serial number, WiFi network, timestamps. Most people never know this data exists.

Step 2 — STRIP

Canvas Redraws Every Pixel

HTML5 Canvas API redraws your image pixel by pixel from scratch. The new file contains zero metadata — not hidden, not compressed, completely gone. Mathematically impossible to recover.

Step 3 — SEAL

SHA-256 Cryptographic Proof

Web Crypto API generates a SHA-256 hash of your clean image. If even one pixel changes after processing, the hash breaks. Share the hash to prove your image is authentic and unmodified.

What Your Images Are Secretly Sharing

Every upload, message attachment, and shared asset leaves a trail of physical indicators.

GPS Coordinates

The exact street address where you took this photo

Device Fingerprint

Camera make, model, and serial number

Timestamps

Exact date and time photo was taken and edited

WiFi Network

Name of network you were connected to

Identity Data

Author name, copyright info embedded by editing software

Hidden Payloads

Malware can be hidden inside image pixel data
