Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
The Short Version
PicScrub processes your images entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server. We cannot see, access, or store your images.
Image Processing
When you use PicScrub to remove metadata from images:
- All processing happens locally in your web browser using JavaScript
- Your images are never transmitted over the internet
- We have no access to your images or their contents
- No image data is stored on our servers
You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page. The tool will continue to work because it runs entirely on your device.
Website Hosting
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. When you visit the site, the following data may be automatically collected by the hosting infrastructure:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time of access
- Referring website
This data is collected for security and performance purposes and is processed by Cloudflare in accordance with their privacy policy.
Cookies
PicScrub does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. Essential cookies may be used by the hosting provider for security and performance purposes.

Third-Party Services
