Metadata privacy for iPhone
Every photo you share carries hidden data — where it was taken, when, and on whose device. So do your videos, and your PDFs and Office files. Scrub shows you everything and wipes it clean, right on your phone.
Free to download. See everything your photos leak and watch Scrub clean them — then $2.99, once, to save and share the results. Forever.
None of this is visible in the picture. All of it travels with the file — to social media DMs, marketplace listings, forums, and anyone who taps “Save image”.

Which device is yours — across every photo it takes

Who you are — written into the file itself
Pulled from Scrub's bundled sample photo — a typical smartphone JPEG carries 20+ hidden fields just like these.
Straight from your library. Scrub reads EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC — everything — and translates it into plain language.
Hidden fields grouped by what they expose: Location, Date & Time, Device, Author, Capture Settings. Drop the GPS pin on a map and see exactly what the file gives away. Edit any field, or pick whole categories.
One tap wipes it all — losslessly, pixels untouched. Scrub re-reads the result and shows you the proof: 0 fields remain.
New in Scrub
The same hidden data rides along in your videos and documents — and Scrub now cleans those too, with the same on-device, lossless, verified approach.
A video hides the same GPS pin and device fingerprint as a photo — and iOS buries it deep in the container.
Scrub reads the location, capture date, make, model and recording software straight out of the file, drops the pin on a map, and rewrites the container with none of it. The picture and sound are copied frame-for-frame — no re-encoding, no quality loss.
PDFs and Office files carry author names, company, editing time, and the comments and tracked changes you thought you deleted.
Scrub cleans PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint — stripping document properties, flattening tracked changes and removing comment history, all on-device. Your text, images and layout are never touched. No upload, unlike every web-based alternative.
Scrub removes metadata at the file-container level — no re-encoding, no quality loss, every pixel and every frame exactly as it was. It even drops the hidden EXIF thumbnail (a second tiny copy of your photo) and trailing motion-video data most tools miss.
Every clean is checked by re-parsing the output file. You don’t have to trust us — the app shows its receipts.
No upload, no server, no account. Scrub works in airplane mode, and your photos never leave your phone.
Rewrite instead of remove: change a date, fix an author credit, or move a photo’s GPS pin to Paris. Your file, your story.
Metadata isn’t the only leak. Blur, pixelate, or black out faces, screens, and street signs — full resolution, three intensities.
Sharing a whole album? Select a batch and wipe every photo in one pass. Per-photo badges show what’s hiding — red when geotagged — and cleaned copies are saved alongside the untouched originals.
A privacy tool that harvests your data would be a bad joke — and so would one that charges rent. Seeing what your photos expose is free. Watching Scrub wipe it clean, with proof, is free. When you want to keep the result, one purchase unlocks saving and sharing forever. You buy Scrub, you own Scrub.
Seeing what your photos leak is free. Making them stop is $2.99 — once.
