MetaClean

Share the file. Leave less behind.

Inspect hidden file metadata before sharing: location, author names, camera details and software information. Choose a cleaning profile for supported images and PDFs, save a sanitized copy, and check what remains. The bundled ExifTool engine does the work locally.

WHAT IT DOES

A clear task.
A considered set of tools.

MetaClean keeps the workflow focused, from the first input to a result you can review.

01 / CAPABILITY

See the hidden details

Inspect metadata by category, with sensitive fields highlighted. Search values and copy them for review.

02 / CAPABILITY

Choose what to remove

Use Privacy Clean, Remove All Metadata or Custom categories on supported formats. Process files in a batch queue.

03 / CAPABILITY

Verify the result

Re-scan cleaned files to see remaining metadata. Export CSV metadata reports or JSON privacy reports.

From input to output.

  1. Add files or a folder
  2. Inspect metadata
  3. Choose a cleaning profile
  4. Review the cleaned copy

LOCAL BY DESIGN

Your workflow.
Your machine.

Files and metadata are processed locally. Cleaning creates a separate copy by default. Optional original replacement requires confirmation and a backup; there are no accounts, uploads or runtime network calls.
