Metadata Cleaner

Remove hidden metadata from supported photos, PDFs, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX documents, video and audio files. Process supported files inside ZIP archives and export successful files together. Everything happens locally on your Mac: no uploads, cloud processing, account, analytics or tracking.

Inspect metadata before and after cleaning, choose original-format exports or optional image and video conversion, and save cleaned copies or choose verified replacement of originals. Optional Office review cleanup removes comments and supported revision history; optional PDF deep cleaning flattens pages and loses selectable text and links.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Cleaning is not redaction: visible content, identifying details inside embedded files, filenames and filesystem attributes are unchanged. Technical format fields may remain or be generated. Legacy or macro-enabled Office files, protected or signed documents, and PDFs with forms or attachments are not supported. Review results and keep backups.
