Remove metadata from ZIP archives

Inspect supported ZIP archive metadata and supported member evidence in the controlled browser-side Professional workflow.

No raw upload

Your ZIP 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 archive-level metadata and independently assessed supported member evidence, records each removal, and independently checks the output before reporting a clean result.

Questions about ZIP metadata

Do ZIP files contain metadata?

ZIP archives can contain comments, timestamps, compression information, system attributes, and nested member files. The current path reports archive-level evidence separately from independently assessed supported members.

Supported ZIP files are inspected and cleaned in your browser. Raw file bytes and raw metadata are not sent to ScrubMetadata servers, and only minimized evidence is recorded after processing.
