Clean a whole folder without uploading your files

Clean a folder of supported photos, PDFs, Office documents, audio and video with Free AI Wiper. Choose the folder once, review its files together, then download cleaned copies in a ZIP that keeps your subfolders organized. File processing stays on your device, and your originals remain unchanged.

One batch for different file types

A sharing folder may contain a photo, a PDF, a Word document and an audio clip. The browser cleaner can route supported files to their processors without asking you to split them into category tabs.

Sign in to use Multiple files. Your plan's browser allowance still applies; inspection does not spend a cleanup credit. Failed or unchanged cleanups do not count as successful changed cleans.

Review before you clean

  1. Select Files, then Multiple files, and add your supported files above.
  2. Wait for inspection. Each row shows AI/personal finding counts; Details lists the supported records.
  3. Choose Remove personal metadata if you want supported location, author, device or descriptive information removed too. This setting applies to the batch; supported DOCX reviewer anonymization is separate and optional.
  4. Clean the eligible files. A failed inspection stays visible and does not stop the other eligible items.
  5. Review removed/kept findings, then download individual results or the successful outputs together as a ZIP.

How to remove metadata from a folder

  1. Sign in and select Multiple files in the cleaner above.
  2. Click Choose folder and select the folder you want to clean. Supported files inside its subfolders are included automatically.
  3. Review the queue. Relative paths help distinguish files with the same name in different subfolders. Unsupported files are reported, and files that fail inspection remain visible.
  4. Add any extra individual files before starting. Choose whether to remove supported personal metadata as well as AI metadata, then clean the eligible files.
  5. Review each result and choose Download all (ZIP). Extract the ZIP to get organized copies with the selected folder and subfolder paths preserved.

Keep your subfolders organized

A folder such as Photos/Trip/photo.png becomes Photos/Trip/photo.cleaned.png inside the download. A second photo.png in Photos/Family stays in its own subfolder. Extra individual files appear at the ZIP's top level. Output names receive a number when needed to avoid conflicts; the originals are never overwritten.

Empty folders are not included. The ZIP contains successful results only, so check failed and unsupported items before sharing it. Selecting a folder does not make unsupported formats eligible for cleaning.

Questions about folder metadata removal

Can I remove EXIF and GPS from a folder of photos?

Choose the folder and enable Remove personal metadata to remove supported embedded location, camera and other personal information from eligible images. AI metadata cleanup is included by default. This is a shared batch setting, not a GPS-only option that promises to retain every other camera field.

Are folder files uploaded to a server?

Selected file bytes are inspected, cleaned and packaged in your browser. Signing in and recording usage involve the website, but the local cleaner does not upload your files for processing.

Does cleaning replace the files on my computer?

No. Downloaded copies go into a ZIP; extracting it creates the organized output. The cleaner does not write back into your selected folder. Keep the original folder separately.

What if my browser cannot select a folder?

Use Choose files to select multiple supported files instead. Ordinary file selection does not supply the original subfolder paths. Folder selection and ZIP download depend on your browser's capabilities and available device resources.

Removing supported file metadata does not remove visible marks or invisible pixel/audio watermarks, prove human authorship, or guarantee that a platform changes its AI label.

Limits apply to each file

Images, PDF and Office files: 25 MiB each. Audio: 50 MiB. Video: 250 MiB. HTML, SVG and Markdown: 1 MiB. Plain UTF-8 text keeps its separate Text editor. Unsupported layouts can fail even below these size limits.

Processing is sequential; large batches can take time on your device. You can cancel, and your originals are not changed. A ZIP contains successful outputs, not a promise that every selected file was cleaned.
