Photos, PDFs and Office files carry information you don't see: who wrote them, the revisions, the GPS location. We clean it automatically before external sharing. A subscription service, simple and tracked.
Quick self-qualification: do you recognise yourself in one of these?
You send PDFs, proposals and contracts to clients and suppliers and don't want them carrying authors, comments or revisions.
You deliver work to clients and want it clean: no internal names, no traces of who worked on it.
You upload images to your site or socials and don't want to expose GPS location or device model.
Every file carries data you don't see when you open it: a photo records the camera model, date and often GPS coordinates; an Office document keeps the author, reviewers, comments and sometimes deleted text; a PDF tracks the software and the author.
This metadata can reveal more than you'd want: people's names, internal structure, physical locations, edit history. Scrubbing removes it before the file leaves the company, leaving the useful content intact.
Device model and settings, date/time, and especially the GPS coordinates hidden in photos.
Author and last editor, comments, tracked changes, hidden text and document properties in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Author, creation software, title and XMP metadata that stay in the file even after export.
A simple flow, designed to fit into everyday work.
Single or in batch, from the formats you use every day.
The tool detects the metadata present in each file.
It removes the selected metadata, leaving the content intact.
You download the cleaned files; a record of what was done remains.
It's a subscription (SaaS): from ~€100/month. No surprise quotes for standard use.
For high volumes or dedicated integrations (for example automatic cleaning wired into your flows) we define an extension together. See the pricing page.
No. It removes the file's technical metadata (author, revisions, GPS, EXIF), but it does not anonymise the personal data in the content, for example a name written in the text or a face in a photo. GDPR anonymisation is a different thing.
No. It does not irrecoverably erase data at the storage-medium level. It acts on the metadata inside files before they're shared, not on the secure wiping of a disk.
Images with EXIF metadata, Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and PDFs. For unusual formats we check feasibility together.
Yes. We only remove metadata: text, visible images and layout stay exactly as you see them when opening the file.
Yes, batch processing is built for this: you upload multiple files and download them cleaned, without doing it one by one.
Yes. There's an audit log that records the operations: useful as internal evidence, including on a compliance path.
