Scrub Hidden Tracking Data & Metadata from Your Images

Every photo you take can carry far more than pixels. Phones and cameras quietly embed where you were, when you were there and which device you used. Share that file and anyone can read it. PicStrip redraws each image onto a blank canvas and saves a fresh copy, so the hidden data is removed rather than just edited. Everything happens on your own device.

Precise GPS coordinates: the exact spot a photo was taken, often your home.
Camera & lens serial numbers: link every photo back to one device.
Capture timestamps: the date and second the shutter fired.
Device info: phone make and model, software version, editing apps.
XMP & IPTC profiles: author names, captions, keywords and edit history.
C2PA Content Credentials: signed provenance manifests that track a file's history.

Why it matters: one photo posted to a marketplace, forum or dating profile can reveal where you live, your daily routine and the device you own, to people you never meant to tell. Scrubbing takes seconds, and your images never leave your browser.

Under the hood

01 · Decode

The file is decoded to raw pixels. EXIF orientation is applied to the pixels, so the photo doesn't rotate once its tags are gone.

02 · Redraw

Pixels are painted onto a blank canvas and saved as a new file. Headers, chunks, JUMBF boxes and appended trailers are left behind.

03 · Verify

Before you download, the new file is checked byte by byte for EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ICC, C2PA and text chunks.
