Frequently Asked Questions
What is metadata and why should I remove it?
Metadata is hidden information embedded in files - GPS coordinates in photos, author names in documents, device serial numbers, and AI generation data. Removing it before sharing protects your identity and privacy.
Is this service really free?
Yes, all metadata tools on Remove Metadata Online are free to use with no registration, no payment, and no hidden limits.
Are my files stored on your servers?
Files are processed in your browser whenever possible. When server processing is needed, files are stored temporarily and automatically deleted after 5 minutes. We never store file content permanently.
What file types are supported?
Images (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF), PDFs, videos (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A), Office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), spreadsheets, and AI-generated content.
How do I know which tool to use?
Use the Metadata Viewer to scan any file first. It shows all detected metadata with a privacy risk score, then recommends the right specialized tool for your file type.
Will removing metadata reduce file quality?
For most images, PDFs, audio, and documents, metadata cleaning keeps the visible content intact. Some video or advanced formats may be re-encoded only when needed for safer cleanup.
