Understanding Metadata and Its Privacy Risks
Metadata is the hidden data embedded within your files. For photos, this is often called EXIF data and includes sensitive details like the GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, the camera or phone model used, and the exact date and time. For other files like documents or videos, it can include author names, company details, and editing history.
Sharing files without scrubbing this data can expose your location, habits, and personal information to anyone online. Our tool helps you remove this hidden data to protect your digital privacy and control your online footprint.
A Privacy-First Metadata Remover
Our tool is designed for users who demand security and simplicity. We provide a suite of features to make cleaning your file metadata effortless.
Secure, In-Browser Processing
Your files are never uploaded to a server. All metadata removal happens directly on your computer, offering absolute privacy and security that other online tools don't.
Detailed Metadata Inspector
Before scrubbing, select any file to view its hidden data. Our inspector shows you exactly what information—like geotags and device details—is exposed.
Batch Metadata Scrubbing
Save time by uploading and processing multiple images at once. The tool efficiently manages a file queue for you to clean in bulk.
Broad File Format Support
Our scrubber supports the most common image formats, including JPG, PNG, HEIC, and WEBP. We are constantly working to expand support for documents and video files.
