Sharing a project rarely means sending just one file. There are photos in subfolders, documents with review comments, and a final version you want to hand over without unnecessary information attached.

Two new additions to Free AI Wiper make that handoff easier: folder cleaning in the browser and optional anonymization of reviewer identities in Word documents.

Clean a whole folder. Keep its structure.

You can now choose a folder in the browser cleaner instead of selecting its files one by one. Supported files inside its subfolders join the same queue, with relative paths visible so you can tell similarly named files apart.

After cleaning, download the successful results together as a ZIP. Your folder structure comes with them. A photo at Photos/Trip/photo.png, for example, becomes Photos/Trip/photo.cleaned.png inside the archive. Another photo with the same name in a different subfolder stays separate.

This is useful for a client delivery, a folder of holiday photos, or a mixed project containing images, PDFs, Office documents, audio and video. You can also add individual files before starting.

How to use folder cleaning

  1. Sign in and open Multiple files in the browser cleaner.
  2. Select Choose folder, then choose the folder you want to inspect.
  3. Review the queue and the findings for each file. Add any extra individual files you need.
  4. Enable Remove personal metadata if you also want supported location, author or device information removed.
  5. Clean the eligible files, review the results and select Download all (ZIP).

Processing and ZIP creation happen in your browser. The cleaner does not overwrite your source folder. Your plan’s browser allowance still applies, and the ZIP includes successful outputs only. Unsupported files and failed inspections remain visible for review; empty folders are not included.

See the folder-cleaning guide for the full workflow and file limits.

Keep the review. Remove supported reviewer identities.

A Word document can contain more than its current text. Classic comments and tracked revisions can also carry reviewer names, initials and dates. Removing the document’s ordinary author property is not the same as anonymizing those review records.

The new Anonymize DOCX reviewers option handles supported classic comment and revision identities separately. Reviewer authors become Author; initials and applicable dates are removed. Comment text, tracked edits, IDs and anchors remain, so the review itself is preserved.

That makes it useful when you need someone to see the feedback or revision history without retaining the supported identities attached to it.

How to anonymize DOCX reviewers

  1. Open a .docx file in the browser cleaner and let it inspect the document.
  2. Enable Anonymize DOCX reviewers. The option is off by default and separate from ordinary personal-metadata cleanup.
  3. Clean the file, review the results and download the cleaned copy.

This option is available in the browser. Modern comments are not supported; documents with unsupported review structures are reported rather than silently treated as anonymized. The API, desktop and mobile interfaces retain their existing options for reviewer identities.

Also new: WebM and MKV metadata cleanup

This update also adds selected container-metadata cleanup for supported WebM and MKV files. The processors preserve encoded media rather than re-encoding it. This concerns metadata around the media, not watermarks embedded in the picture or sound.

Prepare the copy you want to share

Whether you are handing over a project folder or a reviewed document, the idea is the same: inspect what is attached, choose the supported information to remove, and share a verified copy while keeping your originals.
