Why remove document metadata?

Docs can expose author names, company info, revision trails, and software fingerprints. Cleaning metadata keeps handoffs private and professional.

Protect privacy

Strip author, company, and internal comments before sharing externally.

Keep versions clean

Clear revision data and timestamps so documents don’t reveal old edits or drafts.

Deliver compliant files

Remove embedded app fingerprints and custom fields to meet client or legal requirements.

Our secure document-cleaning flow

We target PDF and Office properties while keeping the document body untouched, then delete the temp file right after.

Upload securely

Drop a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, or ODT. Uploads are encrypted and never stored after processing.

Detect and scrub properties

We remove author/company, titles/keywords, timestamps, producer/creator tags, and custom properties.

Preserve content

Pages, text, images, and annotations remain unchanged—only metadata is removed.

Download & purge

Grab the cleaned document immediately; the temporary copy is deleted right away.

What document metadata do we remove?

We focus on fields that leak identity or workflow while keeping the file’s content and layout intact.

  • Author, company, manager, and last-modified-by fields
  • Title, subject, keywords, and category properties
  • Creation and modified timestamps
  • Producer/creator software identifiers
  • Custom properties, comments, and template IDs (when present)
  • PDF info dictionary and embedded XMP properties

Document metadata removal FAQs

Do you change the document content?

No. We only scrub metadata fields—pages, text, images, and annotations remain untouched.

Which properties can be removed?

Author/company, title/subject/keywords, creation/mod dates, producer/creator apps, comments, and custom properties.

Are uploads stored?

No. Files are processed over HTTPS and deleted immediately after the cleaned copy is delivered.

Will the file format stay the same?

Yes. PDFs remain PDFs and Office files stay in their original format; only metadata is removed.

Can I clean multiple document types?

Yes. PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and ODT are supported with format-aware cleaning.
