Metadata Remover

Remove hidden metadata from your files

Photos carry GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers. Documents carry author names, company names, comments and edit history. This tool finds it and removes it.

Your files never leave your device. Everything happens inside this browser tab. There is no server to upload to. Once the page has loaded you can switch off your Wi-Fi and it still works. The cleaned copy is a brand-new file, so it also leaves behind what your computer stores alongside the original, like where it was downloaded from.
