Metadata Remover
Remove EXIF, GPS, PDF, Office, ebook, and audio metadata in a browser using Metadata Remover, which lists supported file types.
About Metadata Remover
Metadata Remover is a browser-based tool that strips hidden metadata from files. Files are dropped onto the page and cleaned locally in the browser tab by a Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly; the site states there are no uploads, accounts, analytics, or server-side file processing. Supported inputs include JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, SVG, MP4/MOV, MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and EPUB. After cleaning, the app re-scans the file and shows anything that survived before download. Images keep display-critical data such as JPEG orientation and colour information, while document review content such as comments, deleted tracked text, and PDF annotation notes may be removed.

Good for

Metadata Remover FAQ
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Cleaning runs locally in the browser tab using WebAssembly. The site states it has no analytics, accounts, uploads, or server-side file processing.
Can I strip metadata from PDF, Office, EPUB, and MP3 files?
Yes, for supported files. The app removes PDF info dictionaries, XMP metadata, and annotation author and comment fields; Office document properties and review data; EPUB package metadata; and MP3 ID3 tags.
Will cleaning change how my file looks?
Images keep display-critical data where needed so they do not rotate sideways or shift colours. Document review content, such as comments, deleted tracked text, and PDF annotation notes, may be removed because it can reveal private review history.
