Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata does the remover strip from files?
For images: EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, camera info, thumbnails. For PDFs: author, creation date, software, comments. For documents: author, revision history, comments, tracked changes. The tool removes all metadata while preserving file content and quality.
What file types are supported for metadata removal?
Images: JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, GIF. Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX. Audio: MP3, FLAC, WAV. Video: MP4, MOV, AVI. The tool detects the file type and removes all applicable metadata formats.
Why is removing metadata important for privacy?
Metadata can reveal: your name, location (GPS), device info, editing history, creation dates, and software used. This information can be used for tracking, profiling, or social engineering. Remove metadata before sharing files publicly or with untrusted parties.
Does removing metadata change the file content?
No. The tool only removes metadata (data about the file), not the content itself. Image quality, document text, audio quality, and video quality remain identical. File size may decrease slightly since metadata bytes are removed.
Can I remove metadata from multiple files at once?
Yes. Upload up to 50 files of any supported type. The tool processes all files and removes metadata from each. Download individually or as a ZIP archive. A summary shows what metadata was found and removed from each file.
