How to Strip Metadata from Files Before Sharing
Remove hidden metadata from images, PDFs, and documents before sharing them. Protect your location and device info.
Before sharing files online, it's good practice to remove hidden metadata that can reveal personal information. Here's how to strip metadata from common file types using offline tools.
Removing Metadata from Different File Types
Photos (EXIF)
Use our offline EXIF remover to strip GPS coordinates, device info, and timestamps from JPEG images before posting online.
PDF Metadata
PDFs contain author name, software used, creation date, and edit history. Our offline PDF tools can help minimize exposed metadata.
Converting Strips Metadata
Converting an image to a different format (e.g., JPG → PNG) using Canvas API strips EXIF data since the new format starts fresh.
Privacy Best Practice
Always review file metadata before sharing sensitive documents. Offline tools let you sanitize files without exposing them to third parties.
