We inspect first
We show what we find before we clean anything, so you can understand what your file may reveal.
About us
We help people understand and clean file metadata before sharing.
Metadata Cleaner exists because files often carry more information than people expect. Photos, PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, and presentations can include author details, software names, timestamps, comments, document properties, and review signals that are easy to miss before sharing.
We keep files local
We process selected files in the browser. This build does not include an upload endpoint, account system, or file database.
We verify the result
After cleanup, we inspect the clean copy and generate reports so you can see what changed.
Our privacy approach
We design the product around a simple promise: your selected file should not need to leave your device for supported metadata cleanup. We keep analytics and reports separated from file contents, file names, hashes, metadata values, and file-derived data.
Our cleanup philosophy
We remove supported metadata where we can do it safely, preserve sensitive provenance by default, and flag complex PDF or Office content for review when automatic removal could damage the file or mislead you.
What we support today
We currently support browser-side inspection and cleanup workflows for JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files. You can review the exact support matrix on our Supported File Types page.
