Privacy context

Why remove metadata before sharing?

Files can carry hidden context that remains invisible during normal viewing. Removing metadata helps reduce what travels with a shared file.

Cleaning targets hidden metadata only. It is not a substitute for reviewing visible content, comments, tracked changes, or redactions.

IdentityAuthor, account, company, and software fields can identify people or organizations behind a file.
PlaceGPS and location-style tags can disclose where a photo or video was captured.
TimelineCreation, modification, and export dates can reveal when work happened and how a file moved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are files uploaded to a server?

No. The cleaning workflow runs in your browser, and your files stay on your device.

Is this a metadata cleaner or a metadata remover?

Both. Metadata Remover works as a browser-based metadata cleaner: it inspects supported hidden fields, removes common metadata locally, and lets you download a cleaner copy.

Is this forensic-grade sanitization?

No. It removes common embedded metadata, but it does not replace a professional redaction workflow.
