Remove metadata from a file

What gets removed

Strip clears the embedded metadata containers — EXIF, XMP, IPTC, PDF info and Office core properties — that can carry your location, device, name and edit history.

See it first

The metadata step shows exactly what's embedded before you remove it, so you know what you're sharing.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata can a file leak?

Photos often embed GPS coordinates, camera/phone model, serial numbers and timestamps; PDFs and documents embed author name, software and revision history. Stripping removes them.

How do I remove it?

Upload your file above, then in the “View & edit metadata” step choose Strip — you'll get a clean copy to download. You can also remove individual fields instead.

Does removing metadata change the image?

No — the pixels are untouched. We keep the bits a renderer needs (like the colour profile and orientation) and remove the descriptive metadata.
