Metadata Remover
One checklist for hidden data across photos and documents — inspect here, wipe where you share from the Rewipe app.
Inspect metadata
Images, PDFs, or Office OOXML — parsed only in your browser.
- Runs entirely in your browser — no upload to Rewipe servers.
- Max file size: 12.00 MB.
- Images can be wiped and downloaded here (client-side). Full mobile privacy pass stays in the Rewipe app.
Quick answer
A metadata remover clears hidden properties (authors, GPS, timestamps, software tags) from files before sharing. Use this page to inspect supported files in your browser. For ongoing photo privacy on your phone, use Rewipe.

How to remove metadata safely
- Identify the format. Photo, PDF, or Office — each stores different hidden fields.
- Inspect locally. Use the drop zone below (size-limited, browser-only).
- Wipe before send. Clean photos in Rewipe; for docs, remove properties in the authoring app after you know what’s leaking.
Why start with Rewipe tools
- Clear separation: inspect on web, wipe photos in-app
- No server round-trip for this inspector
- Internal links to format-specific guides (better for search & AI)
- Honest limits on video/browser parsing
Metadata remover FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will one tool wipe every format perfectly in the browser? | No honest tool claims that. This page inspects. Photo wiping is centered in the Rewipe mobile app; Office/PDF property cleanup may also need the native editor after inspection. |
| Is metadata the same as what’s visible in a photo? | No. Metadata is hidden in the file. Faces and IDs sit in pixels — see the Privacy Content Scanner guide. |
