Clean hidden data from your documents

Every Office document carries hidden metadata - your name, company, edit history, and more. Before sharing files externally, strip this data to protect your privacy and your organization's information.

  • Author and company - removed from document properties
  • Edit history - last modified by, total editing time cleared
  • Application info - software name and version stripped
  • Custom properties - any custom metadata fields removed
  • Content preserved - only metadata is touched, not your content

Why choose PrivConvert?

PrivConvert processes your file entirely in memory and forgets it the moment you have your result. Here is what that means in practice:

Fast in-memory processing

Each job runs in an isolated in-memory sandbox, so most conversions finish in seconds instead of waiting in a queue.

Nothing is stored

We never keep a copy. Once your converted file is delivered, both the original and the result are gone — there is nothing left to leak or misuse.

Isolated sandbox

Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.

No human ever sees it

Your files are handled entirely by automated code. No staff, partner or AI model ever reads, stores or trains on your data.

Built for people who value their privacy

PrivConvert handles thousands of conversions every day for developers, designers and privacy-conscious people who need a file converted without handing over a permanent copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata is removed?
Author name, last modified by, company name, manager, application name, creation date, modification date, keywords, category, and custom properties.
Will it change the document content?
No. Only hidden metadata properties are removed. The visible content, formatting, and structure remain exactly the same.
What file formats are supported?
DOCX (Word), XLSX (Excel), and PPTX (PowerPoint) - all modern Office Open XML formats.
Why should I remove document metadata?
Documents often contain hidden information like your full name, company, computer name, and editing history. Removing this before sharing protects your privacy.
Is this tool really free?
Yes, completely free with no hidden fees, no watermarks, and no sign-up required.
Are my files private and secure?
Absolutely. Every conversion runs in an isolated, in-memory process. Your files never touch the disk, are never stored or shared, and are deleted from memory the moment your download is ready.
