Metadata Removal with Local File Processing
Inspect and remove supported file metadata in your browser. Review the published tests and limitations before sharing the downloaded copy.
The Paradox of Online Metadata Removers
Whenever you want to strip GPS geolocation tags from a personal smartphone photo before sharing it online, or clear supported author properties from a PDF or DOCX agreement before delivering it to a counterparty, you are faced with a jarring compromise:
"To protect my privacy, why do I have to upload my unencrypted files to an unfamiliar server on the internet?"
Different tools have different processing and storage policies. Here, file contents are processed on your device, and the privacy policy separately explains website connections, optional maps and temporary browser storage.
Metadata Remover (remover-metadados.com) was created to prove that modern browsers have ample computing power to handle heavy lifting locally. Thanks to the HTML5 Canvas API, WebAssembly, and local byte buffering, supported metadata fields are processed on your device — without uploading file contents for processing.
Our 4 Guiding Principles
Radical Privacy (Zero Upload)
Your files never touch remote servers. Decryption, decoding, binary metadata stripping, and ZIP packaging occur purely within your browser memory.
Zero Friction & Free Access
No mandatory accounts, no passwords, no paywalls, and no artificial file quotas. Drop your files, wipe metadata, and download immediately.
Technical Transparency
We openly explain how EXIF, IPTC, XMP, PDF object streams, and AI Content Credentials (C2PA) work, empowering you with real digital literacy.
Uncompromising Respect
Files are processed locally. The privacy policy explains Google Analytics, external fonts, optional maps and format-specific limits.
