What is metadata and why remove it?
Every file you create contains hidden metadata — information you may not even know exists. A photo taken on your phone stores GPS coordinates, camera model, date and time. A Word document keeps author name, company and revision history. A PDF can reveal the software used to create it.
When you share files online — on social media, job applications, real estate listings or client emails — this hidden data goes with them. MetaScrub removes all metadata instantly, keeping only the visible content.
