Tracked changes in Word documents preserve every edit — including text that was deleted. If you 'Accept All Changes' before sharing, the visible text is clean, but the revision history may still be embedded in the XML. A simple unzip reveals everything.
What's hidden
12 revisions | Deleted text: 'initial offer of $2.4M was rejected'
Opposing counsel, competitors, or clients can see your negotiation notes, draft revisions, and deleted content.

Deep metadata scanning for every field
Microsoft Word documents (DOCX) store extensive hidden metadata in XML files inside the document package. This includes author names, company information, editing time, revision history, comments, tracked changes, and details about every person who contributed to the document.
For legal professionals, this is a well-known hazard. Court rules in many jurisdictions require metadata scrubbing before filing or exchange. The American Bar Association has issued ethics opinions emphasizing lawyers' duty to remove metadata from documents shared with opposing parties.
Beyond legal contexts, any business sharing Word documents externally risks exposing internal author names, company structure, editing timelines, and deleted content that may still exist in the revision history. Templates inherited from previous employers or partners can embed their metadata into your documents.
MetaStrip opens your DOCX file directly in the browser using JSZip, removes or sanitizes the metadata XML files, and repackages the clean document — all without your file ever leaving your device.
Up to 20 files per batch. No account, no upload, no cost.
