The file stays on your device

The browser cleaner reads selected files and performs supported inspection, removal and output verification on your device. You choose when to download the result. It does not send the selected file, its filename, extracted metadata or cleaned output to our server as part of local cleaning.

This is useful for checking supported personal or AI metadata without handing the whole document or photo to an upload-based conversion service. It does not mean that every metadata field can be removed.

Local processing does not mean no network activity

The website loads its interface and processing code over the internet. Account, credit and usage requests can still contact our backend. Usage reporting is separate from the file contents. This page does not promise that every browser workflow works offline; see the privacy policy for account and technical data.

Our separate authenticated customer API does upload files for server-side processing. Use the browser cleaner above when you want on-device file processing; do not confuse it with an API request.

A practical privacy workflow

Keep the original, inspect a supported file and enable Remove personal metadata when required. Review the actual findings, clean and compare the removed/kept report. Download the verified copy and check it before sharing. Metadata cleanup does not redact visible names, faces or landmarks.

For a specific task, see remove photo location, clear PDF author properties or clean a batch or whole folder.
