Metadata is data about data. It is information stored
alongside a file that describes it rather than being part of the visible
content.
📷 Photos | Camera model, GPS location, date taken, camera settings.
📄 Documents | Author, creation date, editing history.
🎵 Audio | Artist, album, genre and cover art.
🎥 Videos | Recording device, codec and encoding information.
📝 Other files | Software used to create or modify them.
Why Remove Metadata?
Metadata can unintentionally reveal information about you or your device.
Removing unnecessary metadata helps protect your privacy before sharing
files online.
- Remove GPS location from photos.
- Remove author names and usernames.
- Remove software and device information.
- Remove timestamps and document history.
- Remove hidden comments and revisions.
Don't Remove Everything
Not all metadata is unnecessary. Some of it helps files work correctly or
keeps them organized.
- Music titles and artists.
- Photo orientation.
- Color profiles.
- Accessibility information.
- Copyright and licensing information.
Always review metadata before removing it. This tool lets you decide what
to keep and what to remove.
