Metadata Remover

Documents and images carry hidden details: author names, GPS location, software, edit history and timestamps. Strip them out so what you share is just the content, not a trail of data about you.

A metadata remover strips the hidden details out of documents and images before you share them. Drop in JPEGs, PNGs, PDFs or Office files and it removes author names, GPS location, software, edit history and timestamps, so it works to clean document metadata or remove hidden data from a photo. The visible content stays exactly as it was; only the metadata is gone. Everything is processed on your own device with nothing uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of metadata gets removed?
For images, that includes EXIF camera and GPS data. For PDFs and Office files, it covers the author, the software used, creation and modification dates, and similar document properties.
Will the file still open normally afterwards?
Yes. Only the metadata is removed; the visible content, the picture, the document text and layout, stays intact and opens as usual.
Which file types are supported?
Common images (JPEG, PNG), PDF documents, and modern Office files such as DOCX, XLSX and PPTX.
