Scrubframe

See what your photos secretly reveal. Then scrub it before you share.

Every photo quietly stores more than the picture: the exact GPS spot where you stood, your camera's make and serial number, and the precise date and time. Scrubframe shows you exactly what's hidden, then strips it in one tap — 100% on your iPhone, no uploads, no accounts, no tracking.

Full metadata breakdown

Scrubframe decodes every embedded field — GPS coordinates, altitude, heading, camera make and model, body serial, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter, date, time zone, IPTC captions and keywords — and organises them into clear, colour-coded groups. Sensitive fields that identify you are flagged first.

The location map

If your photo carries GPS, Scrubframe drops a pin on a map so you can see exactly which spot a stranger could find. A "Blur map detail" option shows a general area instead of the precise pin — useful if you want to screenshot the view without leaking the exact location.

One-tap scrub

Tap Scrub Metadata and Scrubframe re-encodes a clean copy with GPS, EXIF, TIFF maker fields, IPTC, and maker notes removed — your pixels are never resampled. A before → after comparison and a built-in verification pass confirm that no location or identifying data remains.

Platform safety guide

A new offline guide shows how 15 messaging, social, and file-sharing channels handle your photo's metadata. iMessage and AirDrop deliver the original file unchanged. Signal strips everything. Instagram strips the public copy but Meta retains the original. Know before you send.

Export metadata as CSV

From any photo's detail view, export the complete metadata breakdown as a .csv file — all groups, fields, sensitivity flags, GPS coordinates, and a summary row. Open in Numbers or Excel, forward to a colleague, or keep as a record of what the photo contained before scrubbing.

Batch mode + JPEG quality

Import up to 30 photos at once and scrub them all with a single tap. A JPEG quality slider (50–100%) controls output size for JPEG and HEIC exports while leaving PNG lossless. Save or share cleaned copies directly from the app.
