PrivacyMetadata is a set of free browser-based tools that show you exactly what metadata a file carries — GPS location, device info, timestamps, author names, software — and strip it out. It includes image, PDF, document, batch, EXIF, GPS, video, text and audio metadata removers, plus a metadata viewer. Everything runs locally in your browser: your files are never uploaded, there are no accounts and no fees.
