MetaClean: Metadata Cleaner

MetaClean is a simple privacy-focused tool designed to clean hidden metadata from photos and documents before you share them. Photos, PDFs and Office documents can contain information such as location data, device model, capture date, author name, creator app, modification date and custom document properties.

Supported files Photos: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, HEIF Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX Smart metadata detection MetaClean automatically detects the file type and shows what kind of metadata can be found. For photos, it can detect information such as GPS location, device details, camera settings and capture date. For documents, it can check author name, creator app, title, company, custom properties and modification dates. Post-clean verification After creating a clean copy, MetaClean can scan the output file again and show whether readable metadata remains. This helps you understand what was cleaned and whether any warnings need attention. Important note MetaClean cleans file metadata. It does not remove visible content inside files, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, signatures, text inside screenshots, PDF page content, comments or tracked changes. Always review visible content before sharing sensitive files.
