Drop in photos (JPG/PNG), PDFs, or Office files (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX). This tool strips hidden metadata β€” EXIF/GPS location, author and software names, edit history, and comments β€” without re-compressing your images, so the visible content is untouched. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Leaked documents and photos can carry metadata that identifies a source β€” author names, GPS coordinates, device IDs.

Because everything runs in your browser, sensitive material is never uploaded to a third-party server.

⚠️

Metadata removal reduces risk but isn't a guarantee of anonymity β€” review document content and visible details too.
