Remove metadata from your files to protect your privacy
DeMeta helps you decide what information leaves your device. Upload files, review hidden metadata, and download clean versions with sensitive information removed.
Every file you create contains hidden information called metadata - dates, locations, device details, author names, and more. When you share files online, this data can reveal more about you than you intend.
DeMeta gives you control over your digital footprint.
