FAQ
How do I remove metadata from a file for free?
Add a PDF or image and this page rewrites it without the document info or EXIF — on your device with no upload, which is the only safe way to strip metadata.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Scrubbing happens entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored, which you can verify by turning off your Wi-Fi.
What metadata is removed?
For PDFs, the title, author, subject and keywords; for images, EXIF and other metadata are dropped when the image is re-encoded.
Why remove metadata?
Files can carry your name, software, camera and even location. Stripping it before sharing protects your privacy.
Limits
Clears common document info and image metadata; deeply embedded XMP blocks may need a specialist tool.
