What's hidden in an Office document
Beyond the visible text, Office files store the author's name, company, template used, total editing time, previous authors from tracked changes, and sometimes deleted content that's still technically recoverable from the file's internal structure — even after you think you've cleaned it manually.
When this matters
Sharing a contract template externally without revealing which law firm drafted it, submitting a proposal without exposing internal reviewer comments, or sending a resume without showing it was built from someone else's template — these are common cases where hidden metadata says more than intended.
FAQ
Does this change the visible content or formatting?
No. Only hidden metadata is removed — the document's text, formatting, and layout remain exactly as they were.
Does it work on .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx?
Yes, all three modern Office formats are supported since they share the same underlying metadata structure.
Is the document uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
