Meta Cleaner
Metadata cleaning for safer file sharing. Remove hidden metadata from documents and media before distributing them internally or externally.
What Is Meta Cleaner?
Meta Cleaner is an online metadata sanitisation service that removes hidden metadata from files while preserving the original format. This helps reduce accidental disclosure of sensitive context when files are shared.
Metadata can include author identifiers, device/application traces, geolocation hints, and other embedded attributes that are useful for editing workflows but risky in external distribution.
Based on publicly available information from metacleaner.com, the platform is built for quick online use, broad file compatibility, and options for higher-volume/API-supported workflows.
Core Capabilities
- Online metadata removal with no local software installation required.
- Support for broad extension coverage across office docs, PDFs, images, and media formats.
- Fast sanitisation while preserving core file usability and format.
- Premium plans that include higher traffic limits and API integration options.
- Workflow suitable for privacy-aware teams that share files regularly.
Typical Use Cases
- Sanitising client-facing documents before delivery.
- Cleaning legal/commercial files before regulator, partner, or investor sharing.
- Reducing metadata leakage in media uploads and public downloads.
- Embedding metadata cleaning into automated content pipelines via API.
