See and strip what your files carry behind the scenes — GPS location, camera details, AI prompts, C2PA Content Credentials and author names — plus hidden characters in text. Lossless, private, free.
Drop photos, PDFs, Office files or audio — or paste text into the Text tab. Everything stays on your device.
Each file gets a report: GPS coordinates, camera, software, AI prompts, Content Credentials, authors and more.
Every cleaned file is re-checked automatically. Download one by one or all at once as a ZIP.
Not covered: visible watermarks and logos (use the Watermark Remover), and pixel-level AI watermarks such as SynthID, which live in the image itself rather than in its metadata.
From files: EXIF (camera, serial number, dates), GPS location, XMP and IPTC records, C2PA Content Credentials manifests, AI generation prompts saved in PNGs, comments, thumbnails, document author and company names, and audio tags. From text: zero-width characters, direction-control characters, Unicode tag characters, stray variation selectors and look-alike spaces.
No. Cleaning happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device, which is the point when you are removing private details like your location.
No. The tool never decodes or re-compresses the picture. It copies the image data byte-for-byte and only leaves out the metadata blocks, so the pixels are identical to the original.
Yes. Phone photos often rely on an EXIF rotation flag. The tool keeps just that one flag and removes everything else, so the photo still displays correctly.
No — this tool is for hidden marks. To remove a visible watermark or logo from a photo you own, use our Watermark Remover.
No. Watermarks like Google SynthID are woven into the pixels or into the word choices of AI text, not stored as metadata. No tool can reliably remove them without changing the content itself, and this tool doesn’t try.
An invisible Unicode character, such as U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE, that takes up no space on screen. They can be used to fingerprint copied text or hide messages. Paste text into the Text tab to see each one highlighted.
Removing metadata from your own files — for privacy before you share them — is normal and widely done. Don’t use it to strip credit or copyright information from other people’s work, or to misrepresent where content came from; platform rules and copyright law may apply.
