See what your files reveal.

Metadata is information stored inside a file in addition to what you see. In a photo it can include the capture date, the camera or phone model, editing software and sometimes GPS coordinates. In a PDF it can include the author, title, creating application and creation and modification dates.

Many apps, email services and file-sharing links pass the original file along unchanged, so whoever receives it can read its metadata. Checking and removing it first means you decide what information goes with the file. Not every file contains sensitive metadata — Pixurity shows you what is actually there.

No. Pixurity scans and cleans photos and PDFs locally in your browser. Your files, their file names and the metadata extracted from them are not uploaded to Pixurity's servers for scanning or cleaning. Accounts and payments for paid plans use server-side services, but they never receive your files.

Yes. The photo metadata remover supports JPG, PNG and WebP images, and the PDF metadata remover supports PDF documents. Both have a single-file tool and a bulk tool.

Pixurity detects and removes supported EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata, including GPS location, camera and device details, dates and times, author and copyright fields, software information, comments, embedded thumbnails and supported AI/provenance metadata such as C2PA Content Credentials.

Metadata is normally removed from JPG, PNG and WebP without re-encoding the image data. If a supported photo has EXIF orientation 2–8, Pixurity re-encodes it once to apply the rotation or mirroring before removing the tag. Re-encoding may change image quality and file size; metadata removal also changes file size.

Pixurity detects supported AI and provenance information embedded in a file's metadata, such as C2PA Content Credentials, IPTC digital-source-type values and AI tool names in software or history fields. It does not analyse pixels and cannot tell whether an image was AI-generated if no such metadata is present.

After cleaning, Pixurity re-scans the exact file you will download. It is marked “Cleaned & verified” only if that final file passes Pixurity's checks for supported metadata. You can also drop the cleaned file into the checker again to see its report.

Files are processed locally and are not uploaded to Pixurity for scanning or cleaning. Cleaned downloads may also be kept in your browser's Cache Storage on this device. Pixurity attempts to remove these copies when you clear or replace a result, remove a batch item, or leave its tool page, without deleting another active tab's downloads. When a download is prepared, the local helper also attempts to remove labelled copies older than 24 hours whose owning tab or document is no longer open. Older, unlabelled copies are left untouched because their ownership cannot be established. Closing a tab does not guarantee immediate deletion; clearing this site's browser data removes stored copies. Files saved to your Downloads folder remain under your control. Account, payment, billing and Bulk Pass usage records are separate server-side data.

“Cleaned & verified” means no findings remain under Pixurity's supported-metadata checks. Photos can be “Cleaned with warnings” when residual findings do not trigger the failure checks; the report lists them, and they are not labelled verified. Warning photos can be downloaded in Single Photo and in Free/Pro Bulk Photo; Bulk Pass downloads require a verified result and server-confirmed usage. PDFs have only verified or failed results and must also reopen with the same page count. Failed results are not offered for download. Buttons enable only after the cleaned file is prepared. These checks do not prove that no hidden information of any kind remains.

Yes. Single photos and single PDFs can be scanned, cleaned and verified for free, without an account, and the bulk tools are free for up to 3 files per batch. Paid plans add bulk volume and are ad-free; the metadata detection and cleaning are the same.
