Private file cleaning, built to be simple.
CleanFile removes hidden metadata from files directly in your browser, so you can share documents, photos, audio, and video with less risk.
Why CleanFile exists
Files often contain more than their visible content. Photos can include location data, Office files can include author names and company details, and media files can expose software, devices, and timestamps.
CleanFile was built to solve that problem with a straightforward workflow: detect metadata, show what is present, and remove it locally without sending your files to a server.
What matters here
Local first
File analysis and cleaning happen in your browser whenever the format allows it.
Clear before you share
The product is designed to show the privacy-relevant fields so you understand what is being removed.
Minimal friction
No account, no upload queue, and no extra workflow just to strip metadata.
Focused scope
CleanFile is not trying to be a giant editor. It is built to do one privacy task well.
Supported privacy cleanup
CleanFile currently supports images, PDF files, Office documents, MP3 audio, MP4 and MOV video, and ZIP archives. Support is expanding based on real-world file formats people actually share.
