ShredMeta helps you inspect and remove hidden metadata from photos, short videos, PDFs, and Office documents before you share them. Reveal GPS locations, device details, author names, timestamps, and more, then download a cleaned copy in seconds. Files are processed securely in memory, never permanently stored, and deleted immediately after processing.

Hey everyone, I'm Karim and I built ShredMeta. The idea came from seeing how much hidden information can be left inside files without people realising it. Photos can contain your location and device details. PDFs and Office documents can include author names, software information, timestamps, and other metadata. I wanted to build something that makes it easy to check what a file contains before you share it. Upload a file, inspect the metadata, remove what you do not want, and download a cleaned copy. Privacy was the main focus while building it. Files are processed securely and deleted after processing, so they are not stored. This is an early version, so I would really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or ideas for new features. Thanks for checking it out!

Dragged in a few photos and was honestly shocked at how much was baked in, including GPS coords from a trip I'd totally forgotten about. Cleaned versions came back fast and the whole thing felt genuinely private.

@ayeglknrs Thanks! I really appreciate you trying it out. The GPS location is always the one that catches people off guard. Glad it was quick to use and that the privacy side came across too. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
