About Image Scrubber
Image Scrubber is a browser-based tool for anonymizing photographs, described on its homepage as intended for photos taken at protests. It removes Exif metadata from an image and lets the user blur or paint over areas such as faces or other identifiable information. When a photo is opened, the tool displays the metadata it is removing. Images larger than 2500 by 2500 pixels are scaled down, and the edited file is saved from the browser.
The homepage states that the tool works offline after the page is loaded and that all processing happens in the browser, with no information stored or sent anywhere. The homepage describes the blur function as fairly secure but recommends the paint tool for sensitive information. No pricing is stated.
