LOCAL FILE METADATA SCANNER

Check it before
you share it.

Inspect supported metadata in photos, MP3/WAV audio and Office documents. Create a cleaned copy locally, then check the supported metadata again. Visible or spoken personal information is not removed.

METWIPE IMAGE SUITE

One privacy workflow. More image formats.

JPEG, PNG and WebP can carry metadata in different structures. MetWipe now provides local inspection/cleaning workflows for supported metadata and batch processing without an application upload server.

JPEG Privacy Cleaner

Detailed EXIF inspection, GPS/device/date risk scoring, lossless metadata segment stripping and post-clean verification.

PNG Metadata Cleaner

Removes common textual and EXIF-style metadata chunks while preserving core image chunks and pixel data.

WebP Metadata Cleaner

Removes EXIF and XMP RIFF chunks while preserving the encoded WebP image payload.

Batch Privacy Clean

Select multiple supported photos, clean them locally and download a single ZIP containing the cleaned copies.

Check Photo Location

Inspect a supported JPEG for GPS-related EXIF fields before sharing and separate metadata location from visible location clues.

Share-safe workflow

Original files remain unchanged. Cleaned copies are verified, then visible or audible content should be reviewed separately.

HOW IT WORKS

Inspect. Clean. Verify.

MetWipe is designed around the actual task rather than a fake demonstration panel. Your scan results appear after you select a supported file.

1. Inspect metadata

Read common EXIF fields such as phone or camera model, timestamps, GPS, software and camera settings.

2. Remove supported metadata

Strip supported JPEG metadata segments without adding another lossy JPEG compression pass.

3. Verify the output

The generated cleaned file is scanned again before the tool reports it as verified.

EXTENDED PRIVACY SUITE

Images, audio and Office files.

MetWipe keeps the same animated Scan → Detect → Clean → Verify workflow across supported image, audio and Office formats.

MP3 Metadata Cleaner

Detects and removes supported ID3, APEv2 and Lyrics3 metadata, then verifies the cleaned output. Check MP3 metadata first →

WAV Metadata Cleaner

Removes common RIFF metadata chunks such as LIST/INFO, bext, iXML and ID3 while preserving audio data. Check WAV metadata →

Word / DOCX Metadata Cleaner

Removes supported document properties such as Author, Last Modified By, Company and custom properties. Check Word metadata first →

Excel / XLSX Privacy Cleaner

Cleans supported workbook metadata inside the OOXML ZIP container while keeping workbook content intact. Check XLSX metadata →

PowerPoint / PPTX Privacy Cleaner

Cleans supported presentation metadata using the same local OOXML package workflow. Check PPTX metadata →

FAQ

Common questions.

What is EXIF metadata?

EXIF metadata can contain camera or phone information, timestamps, camera settings and sometimes GPS coordinates inside JPEG files.

Does MetWipe upload my photo?

No. The current supported JPEG scanner and cleaner works locally in your browser.

Does metadata removal reduce JPEG quality?

The cleaner removes supported metadata segments while keeping the encoded JPEG image data, avoiding an additional image re-encode.

Is a 100/100 Supported metadata score a security guarantee?

No. The score is a heuristic for supported metadata fields. Visible content can still reveal faces, addresses, documents, landmarks and other information.
