ScrapItBro

Privacy-first photo metadata inspector and cleaner that runs entirely in your browser.

ScrapItBro inspects the hidden metadata and details inside photos and lets you remove those details from a separate clean copy while keeping the original photo untouched.

Live Application: https://scrapitbro.pages.dev/

Features

• Discover Hidden Information: Inspect camera make, model, lens details, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and raw EXIF/IPTC/XMP payloads.
• Lossless Metadata Cleaning: Create clean copies with metadata removed (JPEG, PNG, WebP) without re-encoding image pixels. The image stream remains untouched.
• Originals Preserved: Original photo files remain exactly as imported.
• Client-Side Privacy: Fully offline-capable Progressive Web App (PWA) with local browser storage.
• Modern Tech Stack: Built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS.

Privacy Model

ScrapItBro is designed with privacy as the core principle.

• Local Processing: All photo reading, metadata extraction, inspection, and lossless cleaning happen entirely in your device's browser memory.
• No Uploads: Your photos are never uploaded or sent to any external server.
• Analytics Separation: We use Google Analytics (GA4) for basic website traffic measurement, but it is strictly separated from application state. No photo metadata, file names, file IDs, GPS data, or any other private information is collected.
