Professional Free Metadata Cleaner for Everyone
Protect your personal information by cleaning all hidden metadata from your files. Digital photos contain sensitive metadata like GPS coordinates, capture dates, and camera serial numbers, while PDFs contain author names, software, and creation paths. Our tool allows you to inspect and completely purge this hidden metadata. Images are stripped serverless or via server-side pixel re-encoding, and PDFs are cleaned entirely client-side using sandboxed browser memory. Your files are kept completely private and secure.
