Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit metadata without uploading files?
Yes. Metadata inspection and supported edits run locally in your browser, and files are not uploaded to Metadata Remover.
Which file metadata can I edit?
The editor supports common fields such as title, author or creator, subject, description, keywords or tags, copyright, software, producer, company, manager, dates, and location where the file format can safely write them.
Do all file types support the same metadata fields?
No. PDFs often use title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer. Images often use title, creator, description, keywords, copyright, software, date, and location. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can include title, author, company, manager, category, and created date. Videos can include title, artist, description, comment, copyright, creation time, location, and encoder.
Is editing metadata the same as removing metadata?
No. Editing changes supported hidden fields. Metadata removal is the better workflow when you want to clear common hidden metadata before sharing a file.
Will metadata editing redact visible content?
No. Metadata editing does not redact visible text, image content, comments, tracked changes, hidden sheets, annotations, or embedded media.
