Frequently Asked Questions
What is EXIF metadata and why should I remove it?▾
EXIF metadata is hidden data embedded in photo files — GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time, author name, and more. Removing it before sharing photos protects your privacy and prevents unintended location tracking.
Does MetaRemover upload my files to a server?▾
No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device — not even temporarily.
Which file types are supported?▾
JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, HEIC, GIF (photos); PDF, DOCX, PPTX (documents); MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, M4A (audio); MP4 (video). New formats are added regularly.
Is removing metadata the same as deleting the file content?▾
No. Metadata removal only strips hidden embedded data — the visible content, quality, and structure of the file stays completely intact.
What about Microsoft 365 Copilot AI metadata in 2026?▾
Microsoft 365 Copilot can add AI-generated content markers and usage flags to custom document properties. Use Document Inspector plus ExifTool together to catch these new fields in Word and PowerPoint files.
