Description
Share photos without sharing your location, your identity, or secrets you can't see. PicStrip strips invisible metadata and redacts sensitive info - fully on-device, with no account, no uploads, and zero network calls.
METADATA STRIPPING
Every photo secretly carries GPS coordinates, timestamps, camera make and model, lens data, serial numbers, and Apple maker notes. PicStrip removes all of it before you share - in one tap.
SENSITIVE INFO DETECTION & REDACTION
On-device artificial intelligence scans your photo for 30 kinds of sensitive personal information (PII), risk-ranked across four tiers:
Critical - API keys, credit cards, social security numbers, passwords, JWTs, database connection strings
High - faces, IBANs, ABA routing numbers, SWIFT/BIC codes, physical credentials
Medium - emails, phones, addresses, crypto wallets, VINs, license plates, IP and MAC addresses
Low - dates of birth, links, barcodes
Each detection shows its type, confidence score, and risk level so you can prioritize what to redact.
REDACTION EDITOR
• Draw anywhere to cover anything the scanner missed
• Multi-select regions and bulk-apply changes at once
• 3 redaction styles: solid, blur, or pixelate
• 10 colors for solid redactions
• 50-step undo/redo
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
• Photos library
• Files app - open any image or screenshot directly
• Drag and drop images into the app
• Share Extension - clean directly from Photos, Safari, or any app's share sheet without opening PicStrip
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• 100% on-device - nothing leaves your phone
• Face detection stays on-device; PicStrip does not collect, store, transmit, or share face data
• No account, no login, no tracking
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions
• Open source - every line of code is auditable on GitHub
• SLSA Level 3 build provenance - every release is cryptographically verified
• Privacy nutrition label: Data Not Collected
SHORTCUTS & AUTOMATION
PicStrip includes a Shortcuts action so you can strip metadata and redact sensitive info automatically: on import, in bulk, or as part of any workflow.
