EXIF Metadata Scrubber
Read full descriptionHide full description
Share a moment from your life without including every detail stored in the photo file. Private Photo Scrubber helps you see supported photo metadata, create a sharing copy, and check that copy again. Keep your original photo and its memories for yourself. CHECK BEFORE YOU SHARE See supported location, capture time, device and software details, plus description and copyright fields. If a field is unknown or cannot be checked, the app tells you. CREATE A SEPARATE COPY Create a new JPEG from a supported JPEG or HEIC/HEIF photo. The app checks the output before offering it for saving or sharing. Your original is not overwritten. START WITH ONE PHOTO Inspect one photo at a time for free. Create one checked sharing copy each day. Checks can continue after the daily copy allowance is used. Failed checks and photos with no supported fields to remove do not use a successful-copy allowance. LIFETIME PRO FOR BATCHES Work with up to 20 photos per batch, save checked copies together, and view local run summaries. One purchase. No subscription. Your local price is shown before purchase. Existing purchases can be restored. PHOTO PROCESSING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No photo upload or account is needed for the core task. App Store purchases and restoration connect to Apple. Local history stores counts and outcomes, not your photos or metadata values. KNOW WHAT CHANGES Outputs are JPEG copies. Format, file size and color may change. PNG, RAW, video and full Live Photo pairs are outside the current processing support. In-app size limits apply. Checks cover the supported fields the app reads. Visible details in the picture, unknown fields, and information added by another service are outside that promise. Removing metadata does not make a photo anonymous or prevent someone from forwarding it.
