What's hiding in your files?
Location & GPS
Photos quietly record where they were taken. MetaClean wipes GPS coordinates and timestamps.
Author & device
Names, software versions, camera serial numbers, and account info — gone.
Edit history & hidden content
Tracked changes, hidden text, and orphaned content left in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDFs.
Private by design
Everything is cleaned locally on your Mac. No uploads, no accounts, no cloud.
Three clicks to a clean file
1
Drag in
Drop files or whole folders. Right-click in Finder works too.
2
Review
See exactly what's hidden inside before anything is removed.
3
Clean
In place, to a copy, or a temporary “Clean & Share” that auto-deletes.
Works with photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF), PDFs, and Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
