Document properties remover questions
Focused on Office/PDF document metadata and clean document copies.
What document properties can be cleaned?
Supported properties include author, last editor, company, application/software, title/subject where available, and creation or modification dates.
Can this clean Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files?
Yes. We inspect and clean DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX document properties locally.
Can someone tell who created a Word document?
Sometimes, yes. Word documents can store author, last modified by, company, template, and timestamp details in document properties. We remove supported author and document-property metadata from the clean copy.
How do I remove author information from a Word document?
Upload the DOCX file, review the author and document-property findings, clean the supported categories, and download a separate clean copy before sharing.
What about comments, tracked changes, macros, and notes?
We show those as needs-attention signals because they can affect document meaning or functionality and should be reviewed carefully.
Does this remove tracked changes from Word documents?
No. We report tracked changes and similar review signals when detectable, but we do not remove them automatically in the browser because they can change the document history and meaning.
Does this remove hidden sheets or speaker notes?
We report hidden sheets in spreadsheets and speaker notes in presentations as review signals when detectable. Review those items in your Office app before sharing sensitive files.
Should I use this on a copy of my document?
Yes. We already create a separate clean copy, and we recommend reviewing that copy before sending business, legal, school, or client documents.
Can I choose which document properties to remove?
Yes. Use Custom mode to select categories such as author, software, timestamps, and document properties before cleaning.
