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?

Who hunted BeforeShare?
BeforeShare was hunted by WorthIt. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
