Scrub Your Files.
Protect Your Privacy.
Remove hidden metadata, GPS coordinates, and tracking information from your files before sharing them online. Free, fast, and 100% private.
How It Works
Four simple steps to a metadata-free file. No account needed, no waiting.
Select Your File
Drag & drop or click to browse. Your file stays in your browser — it never touches any server.
Analyze Metadata
FileScrub reads all embedded metadata and shows you exactly what's hidden in your file.
Scrub It Clean
With one click, all sensitive metadata — GPS coordinates, device info, author names — is removed.
Download & Share
Download your clean file. Share it with confidence, knowing no hidden data will be exposed.
Why Metadata Matters
Every file you share carries hidden data. Here's what could be exposed.
GPS Location
Photos taken at home, work, or sensitive locations embed precise GPS coordinates — accurate to within meters.
Camera & Device Info
Your device model, software version, and even serial numbers can be used to identify and track your device.
Timestamps & Patterns
Creation and modification times build a pattern of your schedule, helping bad actors predict your routines.
Sharing Risks
Every document sent externally may expose author names, company data, revision history, and internal notes.
