Metadata & Privacy Tools
Every photo, PDF and office document you share can carry hidden information: where a photo was taken, which phone took it, who wrote a document and when. These tools show you that hidden metadata and strip it out before you share, entirely on your device.

About the Metadata & Privacy Tools
Photos from phones and cameras carry EXIF data: the date, the device, its settings and, unless you turned it off, the GPS position where the picture was taken. PDFs and Office files record author names, company names and editing history. Audio files carry tags and cover art. None of it is visible when you open the file, but anyone you send it to can read it.
The tools on this page show you what a file contains and remove it. Photos in JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF are cleaned without re-encoding, so the image itself is untouched. Everything runs in your browser, which means the files you're trying to keep private are never uploaded anywhere.
Common questions
What's the difference between EXIF, XMP and IPTC?
They're three kinds of photo metadata. EXIF is written by the camera (settings, date, GPS). XMP is added by editing software such as Lightroom and can include edit history and ratings. IPTC holds captions, keywords and copyright for publishing. The EXIF remover deletes all three.
Does removing metadata change how the file looks?
No. Metadata is stored separately from the image, document or audio content. Your photo, document or song looks and sounds the same afterwards.
Which files should I clean before sharing?
Photos taken at home, ID documents, CVs, contracts, reports and anything you post publicly or send to someone you don't know well.
