Scrub Metadata From a File

Strip the hidden identifying information out of your documents before you send them. This tool removes author names, producing software, timestamps, photo EXIF and GPS, and Office revision history — so the file you share does not quietly disclose more than you intend. Processed entirely on your device.

Scrub Metadata

Remove every author, location, device, software, comment, and revision history field embedded in a file. PDFs lose their info dictionary and XMP stream (the Producer field will show pdf-lib as a processing artifact, but all original identifying values are gone). Images are re-encoded without EXIF/IPTC. Office docs get their core/app properties replaced with blanks.
