About MetaScrub
A privacy-focused, free online tool that lets you view and remove hidden metadata from your files – directly in your browser.
Why This Site Exists
Metadata is often invisible to most people, yet it can quietly reveal sensitive details such as location, device information, author names, and timestamps. Photos, documents, and videos shared online frequently contain far more data than intended.
MetaScrub was created to make metadata visible and removable without requiring technical knowledge, software downloads, or trust in third-party servers. Everything runs directly in your browser, so your files remain fully under your control.
What You’ll Find
MetaScrub provides simple, browser-based tools that allow you to view and remove metadata from different types of files. Each tool is designed to be fast, transparent, and easy to use – with no accounts, uploads, or tracking involved.
Whether you’re cleaning image EXIF data, stripping document metadata, or preparing files for public sharing, MetaScrub focuses on privacy-safe defaults and clear explanations of what data exists and why it matters.
Who Runs This
MetaScrub is an independent project built by developers who care deeply about digital privacy, data minimization, and user autonomy. It is not backed by data brokers, ad networks, or file-harvesting services.
The goal is simple: provide free, trustworthy tools that help people protect themselves online – without monetizing their files, behavior, or personal information.
