Metadata describes the files, device details, location, author, editing history, and more.

You should delete this information using a video, photo, or image metadata remover to prevent external bodies from gaining access to personalised information about you that you would rather keep private.

Basically, all files you create online. Word, Excel, PDFs, videos, images, etc, all have metadata in some form or another.

The kind of metadata these files contain will vary depending on their contents, so if you have a file you want to keep private, using a metadata cleaner will delete this information for you.

With Internxt’s metadata remover, yes. Files are encrypted, processed securely, and everything is deleted once the metadata is removed. We cannot store or view the contents of your files, only delete the metadata.

No, only the metadata is deleted. We don’t add watermarks, compress your files, or make any other unnecessary changes to your files. Once you delete the metadata, you will get the exact same version of your files with zero alterations.

Once you upload and delete the data, everything is automatically deleted from our system to maintain your privacy and our GDPR compliance.

All files contain metadata. In Windows, you can view it by right-clicking on the file and selecting “Properties”

Mac users again need to right-click the file, select “Get Info”, then go to the “Details” section to view the metadata.

Finally, you can view the metadata of PDFs by opening them in Adobe Acrobat and going to “File” > “Properties” > “Description”
