About Remove Metadata

Files carry hidden information. PDFs store the author, software and dates, photos store the camera, settings, date and often the exact GPS location where they were taken. See what is inside, then remove it before you share.

How to use Remove Metadata

  1. Add PDFs or photos (several at once is fine).
  2. Review the hidden information that was found.
  3. Download the cleaned files.

Good to know
