Scrub: EXIF Metadata Remover

Every photo you take embeds hidden metadata: the exact GPS location, the capture time, your camera make and model, lens and serial numbers, what software edited it and when. Most apps that share photos do not strip any of it.

Scrub removes it. Pick a photo, tap Strip All, save the clean copy. The original file is never modified.

WHAT SCRUB STRIPS BY DEFAULT

- GPS coordinates and location data
- Camera make, model, lens, and serial numbers
- Capture and modification timestamps
- Software and editor metadata
- Device-specific identifiers
- Embedded thumbnails, which can leak the original image after a crop

The result is a clean copy with the EXIF data removed, ready to share.

ON-DEVICE PROCESSING

Photos never leave your device. The file you pick is read locally, processed in memory, and written back as a new file. Scrub works offline. The only network use is validating your Pro purchase through Google Play; no photo data or metadata is ever transmitted.

SEE BEFORE YOU STRIP

The metadata viewer shows exactly what a photo carries before you clean it, including the GPS coordinate with a one-tap option to view the location in your maps app.

Scrub collects no personal data. No account, no sync, no backup, no analytics. Your photos, and everything in them, stay on your phone.

WHO SCRUB IS FOR

Journalists and researchers sharing images that must not identify a device. Anyone who wants to remove EXIF data before a photo leaves their phone.
