BeforeShare
Inspect and remove file metadata. No uploads, no signup.
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.
A file can look ready to share while still carrying a location, author name or editing details. BeforeShare shows you the supported hidden fields first, then lets you download a cleaned copy. The file stays in your browser throughout.
It's free, works with JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF and DOCX, and doesn't need an account. There's a fictional example on the homepage if you'd like to try it without choosing a personal file.
One limit I want to be clear about: metadata cleanup doesn't remove names written on a page, visible text or watermarks. Those still need a manual review.
I'd love feedback on the inspection screen: is it clear what the clean copy removes and what you still need to check?
