 Are there any clients that remove EXIF metadata when uploading photos? #asknostr 
 I believe @nostr.build removes all metadata from photo uploads, and @damus' default image hosting is nostr.build when a user uploads an image

Does that count?

(And is that accurate, @The Fishcake🐶🐾?) 
 That’s correct! 
 Perfect, so since I can configure uploads to Nostr.build on Damus, YakiHonne, and Nostur they are g2g. I unfortunately don’t see any option for @primal. Would be nice to know how their uploads work. 
 AFAIK, primal doesn’t touch file at all, so it is served as is. I could be wrong though. 
 I use exiferaser from fdroid 
 Does this work by importing a photo into the exiferaser app, and then uploading to your destination from the app? Or does it happen more automatically/in the background? 
 Extremely manual 
 Have you used @nostr.build ?

It’s as simple as uploading the photo - metadata stripped, hosting link provided. 

I guess you can then download the image from nostr.build as well and it’s clean 
 News to me... I manually strip the metadata and theb upload to nostr build

 That was one of the first features we added for all uploads.
We even show remaining metadata (image size, resolution, etc) after an upload. https://i.nostr.build/uiAer5wLGS9pPcJ2.jpg  
 Surely @primal removes it too? 
 Good question. 

I am on grapheneos and already got this problem solved by default but for most people this is a problem. 

I would love to see better default privacy in nostr clients and services. 

Yes I know nostr is a public network, but better privacy is still useful.
