Clean hidden data from photos and documents before uploading, emailing, or posting — protect your privacy in seconds.
Tap each category to see real examples
Every phone photo carries your GPS location, device model, serial number, and the exact date and time. Share a photo by email or on a forum and all of this travels with it. Major social platforms strip some data, but email, cloud storage, and most websites do not.
A single photo contains
GPS coords + device serial + your name + timestamp + camera settings
A casual photo shared via email can reveal your home address, device identity, and daily routine.
Three steps. No account. No upload. No cost.
Deep metadata scanning for every field
Every digital file carries hidden metadata — information about who created it, when, where, and with what tools. For photos, this includes GPS coordinates and camera details. For documents, it includes author names, company information, editing history, and sometimes deleted content that was never meant to be shared.
When you share files by email, cloud storage, messaging apps, or upload them to websites, this metadata typically travels with the file. While some social media platforms strip certain metadata, most sharing methods preserve it completely.
The risks range from privacy concerns (your home address extracted from a photo's GPS data) to professional embarrassment (a client discovering your document was originally created by a competitor) to legal liability (tracked changes revealing privileged negotiation strategy).
MetaStrip is a universal metadata removal tool that handles photos, PDFs, and Office documents. All processing happens in your browser — your files are never uploaded anywhere. Strip metadata from any file in seconds before sharing it with the world.
Up to 20 files per batch. No account, no upload, no cost.
