SecureMint for Photographers & Creatives
How photographers use SecureMint to strip GPS and camera metadata before client delivery, and share large image batches via download-limited encrypted links.
Who this is for
Professional and semi-pro photographers, videographers, designers, and visual creatives who deliver large media files to clients.
The typical pain
Camera RAW and JPEG files carry GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and timestamps. If a photographer's work is redistributed without permission, these embedded fields can expose private shoot locations and even the photographer's home address. WeTransfer-style links are also easy to forward without limits.
How SecureMint solves it
Run the whole batch through SecureMint's metadata remover before delivery. Then use Secure File Send with a download cap (e.g., 3 downloads) and a password, so the link can't be forwarded endlessly. Pro adds download tracking with timestamps.
Workflow
1. Strip metadata from the export batch
Drop your JPEG/PNG exports into /metadata. GPS, camera serial, and timestamps are removed in the browser.
2. Generate a strong password
Use /password to create a 16-character password for the delivery link.
3. Send with a download cap
Upload the cleaned batch via /send. Set the download cap to 3 and the password you just generated. Set expiration to 7 days.
4. Send link and password separately
Email the link to the client. Send the password via a different channel β SMS, phone, or Secure Memo β so even if one channel is compromised, the delivery remains protected.
