Hello everyone! I’m looking for a solution that will allow me to resolve an inconvenience that I’m experiencing every time I repost a reel or photo from another creator. Before I begin, I want to allow that, as a matter of fairness, I always give credit to the original author of the post. I have no intention of attributing ownership of other people’s content to myself.
In practice, when I download a reel from Instagram, using third-party applications and solutions, such as Telegram bots or the SnapInsta site, and republish the content on my profile, I experience a sort of “freezing of views”, in addition to the prevention of reach the “Reel” or “Explore” section.
I tried to search the internet and ask for help on various forums, and some people told me that, before reposting another user’s content, you need to clean the metadata and modify the hash of the file, be it an image or a video.
In this regard, I found several tools, including FFmpeg, Exiftool and BatchPurifier (which should eliminate the metadata from the file), as well as software for editing the MD5 hash, of which, if you want, unless you already know it , I can provide you with the link to download it.
That said, I wanted to take advantage of suggestions from an experienced user to deal with my problem. I wanted to know which of the various tools, although they are equivalent in terms of quality, is the best for removing the metadata of a file. As for modifying the MD5 hash, I think the solution I’m using is almost excellent; however, if anyone has anything else to recommend, I’m open to any suggestions.
I want to point out that, before using the above utilities, I used two online tools to make changes to the content, without obtaining satisfactory results. In fact, my reel got no interactions or shares. However, if you have any other options to suggest, I’m happy to hear your suggestions. Thank you again for your reply. Sorry for my bad English.
