Browser-only file handling
Selected files stay in this browser only while we inspect metadata and create clean copies.
Trust
Privacy-first metadata removal
We do not include an upload endpoint, account system, database, or backend file processing path in this build. We read file bytes through browser APIs, process them locally, and release them when the page state is cleared.
Analytics boundary
We keep analytics consent-aware and separate from file processing. We do not send file names, hashes, metadata, dimensions, GPS values, document properties, or file-derived error data.
Privacy principles
How we keep file cleanup private
No account or database
We do not require login, file storage, or a database for the metadata remover workflow.
Consent-aware analytics boundary
Optional analytics stays separate from file processing and does not receive file-derived data.
Clear audit-only warnings
We report risky hidden content and signed-file concerns so users can review files before sharing.

Privacy questions
Questions people ask before trusting a metadata remover
Are selected files uploaded?
No. We process selected files through browser APIs, and this build does not include a backend upload endpoint, account system, or file database.
What does browser-only processing mean?
It means the file bytes are read and cleaned in this browser session. The clean copy is generated for you to download locally.
Can analytics see my file details?
No. We keep analytics separate from file processing and do not send file names, hashes, metadata, dimensions, GPS values, document properties, or file-derived error data.
Why do we show review warnings?
We show review warnings when hidden or active content needs human attention instead of pretending every risky item can be safely removed automatically.
