See what your photos reveal — then scrub it before you share. Every photo you take quietly stores more than the picture. Tucked inside the file is the exact GPS spot where you stood, your camera's make, model, and serial number, the precise date and time, and every exposure setting. Share that photo and anyone can read it. Scrubframe shows you exactly what's hidden — then removes it in one tap, leaving your image untouched. And it all happens 100% on your iPhone. No uploads. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing ever leaves your device. SHARE READINESS Before you send a photo set, Scrubframe gives you a clear recommendation: share clean copies, scrub before sharing, or review first. It checks imported photos for GPS, camera identifiers, XMP/IPTC fields, and verification status so you can see the safest next action without opening every photo one by one. SEE WHAT'S HIDDEN Pick a photo and Scrubframe instantly decodes the metadata baked into it, organized into a clear, readable breakdown: • Location — the exact GPS coordinates, altitude, and heading • Date & Time — when and in what time zone it was taken • Camera & Device — make, model, lens, software, serial numbers, and owner fields • Exposure — aperture, shutter, ISO, focal length, and flash • Image — dimensions, format, color profile, and orientation THE LOCATION MAP If your photo carries GPS, Scrubframe drops a pin on a map so you can actually see the spot a stranger could find. It makes the hidden location data easy to understand before you share. ONE-TAP SCRUB Tap Scrub Metadata and Scrubframe re-encodes a clean copy with the location, camera, EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and identifying data removed. Your pixels stay visually intact. A clear before-and-after view shows your details drop, and a verification pass confirms no location or EXIF data remains. BATCH MODE Got a whole roll to clean? Import up to 30 photos at once, scrub them all with a single tap, and share or save the clean copies together. SAVE OR SHARE Send the cleaned photo straight to the share sheet, or save it back to your library. Saving uses add-only Photos access — the least permission possible. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • On-device reading and scrubbing with Apple frameworks • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking • Importing photos uses the system picker • Optional place-name lookup is off by default and never uploads image bytes Whether you're posting to social media, selling something online, sending a photo to a stranger, or just keeping your home address off your camera roll, Scrubframe makes sure your pictures say only what you want them to. Know what your photos reveal. Then scrub it. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-07-07 Share with confidence. Scrubframe now adds a Share Readiness card that reviews your imported photos as a set, flags GPS and identifying metadata before you send, and tells you whether to scrub, review, or share verified-clean copies. This build also keeps the Exposure Score, batch scrub, CSV export, XMP coverage, accessibility pass, and opt-in place-name lookup. ### 1.2 — 2026-06-19 Scrubframe now shows you exactly what left your photo. The new Scrub Inspector replaces the old 'count drops to 0' summary with a true before/after comparison: every field listed side-by-side as Removed (the GPS pin, serials, owner name), Kept-benign (dimensions, orientation, color profile), or Kept-by-choice. A 'Keep selectively' tray lets photographers retain copyright/artist and journalers retain the capture date while everything sensitive is still stripped, and the Verified badge is now a tappable proof panel naming exactly which dictionaries are gone and which benign keys remain. Plus a p ### 1.1 — 2026-06-16 Scrubframe 1.1 WHERE TO SHARE SAFELY A new offline guide shows exactly how 15 messaging, social, and file-sharing channels handle your photo's metadata — iMessage and AirDrop send the original file unchanged, Signal strips everything, Instagram strips the public copy but Meta keeps your original. Tap "Where to share safely" from any photo detail or from Settings. EXPORT METADATA AS CSV From any photo's detail view, export its full metadata breakdown as a .csv file — all groups, fields, sensitive flags, GPS coordinates, and a summary row — ready to open in Numbers, Excel, or any spreadsheet. Useful if you need a paper trail of what a photo contained before you shared it. JPEG QUALITY CONTROL The quality setting for JPEG and HEIC output is now exposed as a slider in Settings → Scrub Options. 95% default gives near-lossless output; lower for smaller files. No change to PNG (lossless) behaviour. No subscription. No accounts. No tracking. Everything on-device. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-08 No release notes. ## More apps by Robert Corbin - [Daily Word Journey](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-word-journey/id6761548266) - [Hush Secret Text](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hush-secret-text/id6761658175) - [Renew Guard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/renew-guard/id6761755447) - [Receipt to PDF](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/receipt-to-pdf/id6761782025) - [Route Your Pay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/route-your-pay/id6761783719) - [Tip Arbiter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tip-arbiter/id6761786879) All apps by Robert Corbin: https://appshunter.io/developer/1890247992 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
