PicStrip
Strip photo metadata instantly
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Share photos without sharing your location or device details.
PicStrip removes hidden metadata from your photos before you share them — no account required, no data leaves your device.
Every photo taken on an iPhone contains invisible EXIF data: exact GPS coordinates, the time it was taken, your camera model, and more. PicStrip strips all of it in one tap.
WHAT GETS REMOVED
• GPS location — precise coordinates embedded in every photo
• Timestamps — when the photo was taken, edited, and digitized
• Device info — camera make, model, lens, and software version
• Personal identifiers — author name, copyright, and serial numbers
• Private camera analysis — Apple maker-note data where present
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• Runs entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded anywhere
• No account, no login, no tracking
• Open source — the code is public and auditable
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap to select a photo from your library
2. PicStrip scans for all embedded metadata
3. Review exactly what was found
4. Strip it — your clean photo saves to your library instantly
SHARE EXTENSION
Strip metadata directly from the share sheet in Photos, Safari, or any app — without ever opening PicStrip.
SHORTCUTS & AUTOMATION
PicStrip includes a Shortcuts action so you can build automated workflows: strip metadata on import, process photos in bulk, or integrate with your existing shortcuts.
