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

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.
