Your documents leak more than content
Your name, email, company, editing history and internal comments are quietly embedded. A typical contract looks like this.

This is not the file content. This is metadata. And it follows every copy you share.
How to Remove Metadata from Documents
Built for people who share documents
Job seekers
Your resume says “Author: Sarah” and was edited 23 times. The hiring manager can see that with a free tool. Not a great first impression.
Journalists
Your source's name is baked into the file. Strip author identity before sharing documents with anyone. One click could protect a life.
Lawyers
Client names, firm info and edit history all leak through metadata. Clean it before filing or sharing with opposing counsel.
Companies
Internal docs carry employee names, manager info and software versions. Remove all of it before anything goes external.
Researchers
Blind peer review requires anonymous submissions. Your name is in the file unless you take it out.
Freelancers
Clients don't need to know you built their deck at 2am on a Tuesday. Clean the timestamps.
