Supported format

Remove metadata from Excel spreadsheets

Inspect and remove supported XLSX workbook properties and privacy-bearing package metadata in the controlled browser-side Professional workflow.

No raw upload

Your XLSX file stays in the browser. Raw file bytes and raw metadata are not sent to ScrubMetadata servers.

Local processing

Processing time depends on file size, structure and the resources of your device.

Verified removal

ScrubMetadata assesses supported workbook properties and privacy-bearing package metadata identified by the current parser, records each removal, and independently checks the output before reporting a clean result.

Questions about XLSX metadata

What metadata does Excel store?

Excel packages can contain workbook properties, author and company fields, comments, hidden content indicators, revision information, and other package parts. The current path reports only the supported fields and containers it actually assessed.
