Frequently Asked Questions
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. The cleaning workflow runs in your browser, and your files stay on your device.
Is this a metadata cleaner or a metadata remover?
Both. Metadata Remover works as a browser-based metadata cleaner: it inspects supported hidden fields, removes common metadata locally, and lets you download a cleaner copy.
Is this forensic-grade sanitization?
No. It removes common embedded metadata, but it does not replace a professional redaction workflow.
Is it safe to use Metadata Remover?
Yes. Metadata Remover cleans common metadata locally in your browser, so your files stay on your device.
Do you store my files?
No. Files are not stored by Metadata Remover, and V1 has no upload-based processing path.
Does it affect image quality or file content?
The cleaner removes hidden details without changing the visible file content.
