Your file is processed on the server and deleted immediately — nothing is stored.

How to use metadata cleaner

  1. Choose your FILE file. Drop the file onto the upload area or pick it from your device. The file is sent over HTTPS, processed, and deleted as soon as the result is written.
  2. Set the options. Adjust the settings shown for metadata cleaner. The defaults suit most files, so you can usually leave them alone.
  3. Check and save the result. Run the tool and download the modified FILE file. Compare it against your original before you rely on it — conversions do not always carry every detail across.

Privacy

Your file travels over HTTPS to a temporary folder, is processed, and is deleted immediately afterwards. Results are held for a few minutes behind a single-use link and then removed. Nothing is indexed, backed up or used for anything else.

Questions

What happens to my file?

It travels over HTTPS to a temporary folder, is processed, and is deleted immediately afterwards — including if the job fails. The result waits behind a single-use link that expires after 15 minutes. Nothing is indexed, backed up or used for anything else.

Is this secure enough for confidential material?

The file is encrypted in transit, processed in a temporary folder and deleted immediately. For genuinely sensitive material, prefer a tool marked as running in your browser, where the file never leaves your device at all.

Is there a file size limit?

Uploads are capped at 32 MB. If your file is larger, split it first, or use one of the browser-side tools, which are bounded only by your device memory.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens after choosing a file. Check the file really is FILE — a renamed extension fails here the same way it fails in other readers.
  • The upload is refused. Files over 32 MB are rejected. Split the document first, or use one of the browser-side tools, which are limited only by your device memory.
  • The result looks different from the original. Some conversions cannot carry every feature across formats. The page says what was dropped when that happens.
