MetaScrub

What it does

MetaScrub removes hidden metadata — EXIF, GPS location, author and device info — from photos, PDFs, videos and Office files in seconds. Unlike most free EXIF tools, it also handles documents and video, and offers a REST API with an n8n integration for automation. No signup needed. Your file's quality stays untouched — only the hidden data is stripped. Free and private by design.

Delete EXIF, GPS and hidden metadata from photos, PDFs and videos online. Free, instant, secure — files are never stored. No signup needed.

Every file you create contains hidden metadata — information you may not even know exists. A photo taken on your phone stores GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time. A Word document keeps author name, company and revision history. A PDF can reveal the software used to create it. When you share files online — on social media, job applications, real estate listings or client emails — this hidden data goes with them. MetaScrub removes all metadata instantly, keeping only the visible content. EXIF data (camera settings, lens info), GPS coordinates, author and company names, creation and modification dates, software information, thumbnails, comments and all other hidden metadata fields.…from metascrub.xyz

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
