Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata can be found in a PDF?
PDFs can contain author name, creation/modification dates, software used (Creator/Producer), title, subject, keywords, and sometimes the company or organization name.
Why is file metadata a privacy concern?
Metadata can reveal who created a document, when it was created, what software was used, and for images, even GPS location. This information can be used to identify or track individuals.
How can I remove metadata from files?
Most office applications have options to inspect and remove document properties. For images, tools like ExifTool can strip EXIF data. PDFs can be sanitized with various PDF tools.
What file types are supported?
We support PDF, Microsoft Office documents (docx, xlsx, pptx), OpenDocument formats, and common image formats (JPEG, PNG). Each file type has different metadata fields.
