The problem

A picture can share more than you intend.

An image can reveal private information in two places: in the pixels people see and in details stored with the file. Faces, names, addresses, and account details may be visible, while location, capture time, camera, and other metadata can stay hidden.

Scrub Before Send brings those checks into one practical pre-share workflow. Review the image, choose what to remove or protect, and save a separate copy while the original stays on your device.

The build story

Privacy built into the workflow.

The project began with a gap in the way people prepare images to share: checking the visible picture alone does not reveal everything attached to the file. I built Scrub Before Send around a single review, with controls for both hidden data and visible content.

Keeping image processing on the device was a core product choice. The app creates a separate cleaned copy locally, so people can review the result and keep their original image. The product is available on Mac and Android, with a workflow shaped for each platform.

  • Review hidden metadata and visible content in one place.
  • Make a share-ready copy without uploading the image for processing.
  • Use the same privacy-first goal on desktop and mobile.

Ready for your next share

Take a moment to check what your image reveals.

Scrub Before Send helps you make an informed choice before a photo, screenshot, or document image leaves your device.
