Metadata can travel with the file
A photo may include GPS coordinates, camera details, dates, authorship, copyright, comments, and editing software. A PDF can expose its title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, timestamps, and XMP packet. This metadata is easy to overlook when the visible content looks harmless.
- Photos
- JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Images are re-encoded in the browser, which removes supported EXIF, XMP, and IPTC fields detected by this tool.
- Non-encrypted PDF files. Standard Document Info entries and the catalog XMP packet are removed while pages are retained.
- Not supported
- HEIC, AVIF, GIF, audio, video, Office documents, encrypted PDFs, and password-protected PDFs are not accepted in this release.
Clean, then check again
The result is not treated as clean just because an export finished. The output goes through the same inspection path, and the interface compares removable fields before and after processing.
- 01
Inspect
Read recognized metadata locally and group it by privacy relevance.
- 02
Remove
Re-encode supported photos or rewrite supported PDF metadata structures.
- 03
Verify
Parse the output again before enabling a verified success state.
Metadata remover FAQ
Are my files uploaded to Remove My Metadata?
No. File inspection, cleaning, verification, and ZIP creation run in your browser. The tool does not send file bytes, filenames, previews, metadata values, or cleaned results to a server.
Which file types can this metadata remover clean?
The current release supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and non-encrypted PDF files. It does not claim support for HEIC, AVIF, GIF, audio, video, Office documents, or encrypted PDFs.
Does removing metadata change image quality?
It can. Supported images are decoded and re-encoded, so compression, file size, color profile, and fine image detail may change. Animated WebP files become still images. The visible orientation is preserved by drawing the decoded image.
Can any tool guarantee that every hidden data trace is removed?
No. This tool verifies the fields its parsers support, but proprietary structures, embedded files, annotations, revision history, or application-specific data may remain. Review sensitive files with a specialist tool when the risk is high.
