Jou lêers verlaat nooit jou toestel nie. Alle verwerking gebeur plaaslik in jou blaaier.

Drop in photos (JPG/PNG), PDFs, or Office files (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX). This tool strips hidden metadata — EXIF/GPS location, author and software names, edit history, and comments — without re-compressing your images, so the visible content is untouched. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

journalism tips

🛡️

Leaked documents and photos can carry metadata that identifies a source — author names, GPS coordinates, device IDs.

🔒

Because everything runs in your browser, sensitive material is never uploaded to a third-party server.

🧹

A summary shows exactly what was removed from each file, so you can verify nothing identifying remains.

⚠️

Metadata removal reduces risk but isn't a guarantee of anonymity — review document content and visible details too.
