Features

A small utility that respects your photos

Built around one promise: your photos never leave the device. Everything else follows from that.

Strip EXIF, GPS, and device info

Remove location, camera and lens model, original timestamps, and other hidden metadata before sharing. A clear before-and-after report shows exactly what was removed.

Convert between formats

Batch-convert HEIC, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF when the format is supported by your device. Pick once, process the whole batch.

Compress by quality or target size

Choose a quality level, or let PixVault find the best quality that fits under a target like 100 KB, 500 KB, or 1 MB.

Resize by longest edge

Downsize to 4096, 2048, 1280, 1024, or 640 pixels along the longest edge, while keeping the aspect ratio intact.

Shortcuts and Share Extension

Run "Remove Privacy Info", "Convert Image", and "Compress Image" actions from Shortcuts or Siri, or strip metadata directly from any app's share sheet.

Finder Service on Mac

Right-click images in Finder and choose "Remove Privacy Info" to clean them in place. Drag and drop are supported.

100% offline by design

No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. The app does not request the network entitlement. App Privacy: Data Not Collected.

One purchase, all three platforms

Buy the unlock once and use unlimited batch processing on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account. Family Sharing is supported.

Pricing

PixVault is free to download. The free plan processes up to 3 images per batch so you can verify the result on small jobs first.

A single one-time in-app purchase removes the batch limit on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. There is no subscription, no recurring fee, and no ads. The official local price is the amount shown in the App Store.

Privacy

No sign-up is required. Selected photos and processed files are kept on your device. The app does not include analytics, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking.

Image metadata removal is powerful, but always review your exported files before sharing or uploading, especially when sensitive location or device information is involved.
