That cute photo of your cat on the sofa? It carries a digital footprint. Even if you can’t see it, your camera recorded the exact latitude and longitude of your living room.
The "Silent" Data Handover
There is a common misconception that because Facebook or X "strips" metadata, your privacy is protected. The reality is different. The moment your photo hits their servers, the platform reads that hidden EXIF data.

Mako Scrubber: Your Digital Firewall
Mako Scrubber stops the data handover before it ever leaves your phone. By cleaning your photos locally, you ensure that when you hit "Post," there is nothing left for a platform to scrape.
Privacy shouldn't be a technical chore. Our recent update adds full localization support, bringing these tools to users in their native languages.
No servers. No accounts. No "middleman" looking over your shoulder. Just a clean, transparent utility that keeps your private life private.
It's easy. Select your photos either from your camera app or your gallery app. Choose one or many, and then SHARE them with Mako Scrubber.
Mako Scrubber removes all identifying information from the photos and gives you a report on what it removed. Then, share the scrubbed photos again with whatever social media app of your choosing. It's that simple.
Later, you can re-share scrubbed photos from the gallery, again and again. Mako Scrubber will keep your scrubbed photos for 30 days, when it deletes them automatically to keep your phone uncluttered. Or you can delete them yourself. It's up to you.
Automatically available in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish!
