Remove metadata from Word documents

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

No raw upload

Your DOCX 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 document 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 DOCX metadata

What hidden data is in Word documents?

Word packages can contain document properties, author and company fields, template references, timestamps, comments, revision information, and other package parts. The current path reports only the supported fields and containers it actually assessed.
