ScrubExif, the browser-side metadata scrubber

scrubexif.com Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free browser tool that inspects and removes EXIF and other metadata from photos and PDFs without uploading the files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The homepage organizes the project around inspection and removal rather than treating metadata cleanup as a single opaque action. It lists JPEG, PNG, and WebP support, batch cleaning for up to 30 photos, and a one-click ZIP download; PDF metadata removal is presented as a separate tool for documents such as résumés, bids, and manuscripts. HEIC support is identified as a future addition.
