Metadata Remover
Metadata Remover removes metadata in the browser using WebAssembly, with files processed locally and not uploaded, according to its repository.
About Metadata Remover
Metadata Remover is a browser-based tool that removes metadata from image, audio, video, and document files using WebAssembly. According to its repository, files are processed locally in a browser worker and file data is not sent to a server.
Users drop in files, review detected metadata, remove it, then download cleaned files individually or as a ZIP. Cleaned files are validated as the same file type and re-scanned before download, and are flagged if removable metadata remains or if verification is limited by preserved embedded content.
