Scrubframe
Strip photo location & EXIF
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See what your photos reveal — then scrub it before you share.
Every photo you take quietly stores more than the picture. Tucked inside the file is the exact GPS spot where you stood, your camera's make, model, and serial number, the precise date and time, and every exposure setting. Share that photo and anyone can read it. Scrubframe shows you exactly what's hidden — then strips it out in one tap, leaving your image untouched.
And it all happens 100% on your iPhone. No uploads. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing ever leaves your device.
SEE WHAT'S HIDDEN
Pick a photo and Scrubframe instantly decodes the metadata baked into it, organized into a clear, readable breakdown:
• Location — the exact GPS coordinates, altitude, and heading
• Date & Time — when (and in what time zone) it was taken
• Camera & Device — make, model, lens, software, even serial numbers and owner name
• Exposure — aperture, shutter, ISO, focal length, flash
• Image — dimensions, format, color profile, orientation
THE LOCATION MAP
If your photo carries GPS, Scrubframe drops a pin on a map so you can actually see the spot a stranger could find. It's the moment that makes it click: this is what my photo reveals about where I was. Prefer not to show the exact pin in a screenshot? Switch on Blur Map Detail to show a general area instead.
ONE-TAP SCRUB
Tap Scrub Metadata and Scrubframe re-encodes a clean copy with the location, camera, EXIF, and identifying data removed — your pixels stay exactly as they were. A clear before → after shows your "details readable" count drop to zero, and a verification pass confirms no location or EXIF data remains.
BATCH MODE
Got a whole roll to clean? Import up to 30 photos at once, scrub them all with a single tap, and share or save the clean copies together.
SAVE OR SHARE
Send the cleaned photo straight to the share sheet, or save it back to your library. Saving uses add-only Photos access — the least permission possible.
BUILT FOR PRIVACY
• 100% on-device — all reading and scrubbing happens locally with Apple frameworks
• No network — the app makes zero connections
• No accounts, no analytics, no tracking
• Importing photos needs no permission at all (it uses the system picker)
ONE PRICE. NO SUBSCRIPTION.
Scrubframe is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no upsells. Buy it once and it's yours — privacy you own, not rent.
Whether you're posting to social media, selling something online, sending a photo to a stranger, or just keeping your home address off your camera roll, Scrubframe makes sure your pictures say only what you want them to.
Know what your photos reveal. Then scrub it.
Ratings & Reviews

Scrubframe now shows you exactly what left your photo. The new Scrub Inspector replaces the old 'count drops to 0' summary with a true before/after comparison: every field listed side-by-side as Removed (the GPS pin, serials, owner name), Kept-benign (dimensions, orientation, color profile), or Kept-by-choice. A 'Keep selectively' tray lets photographers retain copyright/artist and journalers retain the capture date while everything sensitive is still stripped, and the Verified badge is now a tappable proof panel naming exactly which dictionaries are gone and which benign keys remain.
