About MetaClean
Protecting your digital privacy, one file at a time.
Our Mission
MetaClean is an independent privacy tool created to help people protect their personal information when sharing files online.
Every photo you take, every PDF you create, and every video you record contains hidden metadata—information that can reveal your location, device details, timestamps, and more. This data can be used to track, profile, or identify you without your knowledge.
Our mission is simple: give everyone free, easy access to metadata removal tools that respect their privacy.
Why We Built This
In an age where digital privacy is increasingly under threat, we noticed a problem: most metadata removal tools either:
Upload your files to remote servers
Defeating the purpose of a privacy tool
Require expensive software
Putting privacy behind a paywall
Are complicated to use
Requiring technical knowledge
We built MetaClean to solve all three problems. Our tool processes files 100% locally in your browser. Your photos, videos, and documents never leave your device. No uploads, no servers, no data collection.
Our Values
Privacy First
Your files never leave your device. We can't see them, store them, or access them in any way.
Local Processing
All metadata removal happens in your browser using JavaScript. No server uploads required.
Free Forever
MetaClean is and will always be free. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury.
Open Access
Available to anyone with a web browser. No downloads, no accounts, no barriers.
Our Commitment
Transparency
We clearly explain what we do and how we do it
No Data Collection
We don't track users or collect personal information
Continuous Improvement
We regularly update our tools to support new formats
User Education
We provide guides and resources to help people understand metadata risks
Technical Transparency
MetaClean is built with modern web technologies:
When you use MetaClean, your files are processed entirely within your web browser. The cleaned files are generated locally and downloaded directly to your device. At no point do your files travel over the internet to our servers—because we don't have file processing servers.
Independent Project
MetaClean is an independent project maintained by privacy enthusiasts. We are not affiliated with any corporation or data broker. Our only goal is to provide a useful tool that helps people protect their privacy online.
