Remove Metadata Before Emailing

Every file you attach to an email carries hidden metadata: your name, company, GPS location, and editing history. Clean all of it before hitting send — no software installation, no upload required.

How it works

Presend offers specialized tools for each file type. Remove EXIF data from photos, strip author info from PDFs, and clean editing history from Word documents. All tools run in your browser with zero server contact.

Step-by-step

1. Identify what type of file you're sending (photo, PDF, Word doc)
2. Open the appropriate tool using the links below
3. Upload your file — it stays on your device
4. Click the clean/remove button
5. Download the sanitized file
6. Attach the clean file to your email

Supported formats

Photos: JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP. Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX. Videos: MP4, MOV. Each format has a dedicated tool optimized for its metadata structure.

Is it safe?

Removing metadata is completely safe and recommended by privacy professionals. The visible content of your files remains unchanged. Only the hidden tracking information is removed.

What metadata is hidden in email attachments?

Photos: GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps. PDFs: author name, software, creation date. Word docs: author, company, edit history, comments.

Can email recipients see my metadata?

Yes. Anyone with the file can extract metadata using free tools. Social platforms strip some, but email clients do not.

Is this legal for work documents?

Yes. Removing personal metadata before sharing is a standard privacy practice. It does not alter the document content.
