Files stay in your browser

Private by Default. Local by Design.

Every day, millions of digital files are shared online containing hidden GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, author names, and revision history. We built MetaData Remover to give everyone instant, zero-upload control over their digital footprint.

The Hidden Problem with Modern Digital Files

When you capture a photograph on a smartphone, export a PDF from an office suite, or create a Microsoft Word document, the resulting file stores dozens of invisible metadata tags. These include your exact home or work GPS coordinates, your full legal name, your corporate organization name, your software license information, and even the generative AI prompts used to produce the media.

Sharing these files on social media, via email, in public forums, or into generative AI systems (like ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Claude) can inadvertently expose your physical location, workplace, and personal identity.

How MetaData Remover is Fundamentally Different

Traditional Online Converters
  • • Upload your raw files to remote cloud servers
  • • Store files in temporary backend processing queues
  • • Slower speeds bounded by internet upload bandwidth
  • • Require user registration, credits, or subscriptions
  • • Threat of backend data breaches and logs
MetaData Remover (Browser-Native)
  • 0 bytes uploaded: 100% client-side execution
  • • Powered by WebAssembly and local JavaScript
  • • Instant cleaning speed without upload delays
  • • No accounts, no email signups, completely free
  • • Verified privacy: files never leave your device

Our Guiding Principles

1

Privacy by Design

Privacy shouldn't be an afterthought or a paid feature. We engineer every tool from the ground up so that processing happens locally on your machine.

2

Free & Frictionless

No captchas, no subscriptions, no file size paywalls. Privacy tools should be accessible to journalists, creators, businesses, and everyday individuals.

3

Universal Formats

Supporting images (JPEG, PNG, WebP), documents (PDF, Word DOCX), and multimedia (MP4, MOV, MP3, WAV) with deep binary metadata inspection.
