BeforeShare lets you inspect hidden metadata in photos, PDFs and Word files, then save a cleaned copy. Files stay in your browser, with no upload or account. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF and DOCX, plus batch cleanup. Your original stays untouched. Visible text and watermarks still need a manual check.
