File metadata
Inspect and remove supported file metadata.
About File metadata
Look at metadata stored alongside visible file content, then remove fields where the file format and tool support it. The available operations depend on the type of file.
Steps, and limitations
How to use it
- Choose the file to inspect.
- Review the metadata and the removal options that are available.
- Export a cleaned copy when supported, then inspect that copy again.
Things to know
- Removing supported metadata is not a guarantee that all identifying information has been removed. Visible content and unsupported fields can still reveal information.
- Always inspect the output; metadata formats differ and some files cannot be cleaned by this tool.
