Does this read or change the document body?
No. Office cleanup rewrites property parts only. PDF cleanup rewrites top-level Info and XMP while retaining pages, forms, annotations, attachments, and visible content.

How to act on this result
Read the cleanup status
Removed means the output scan did not find the same eligible value. Preserved includes technical structure and content retained by the cleaner. Residual means a field remains or appeared in the output: read its value before sharing.
Check what was verified
An incomplete or blocked cleanup is not a successful result. Keep the source and read the failed check. Verification only covers what the parser can inspect; it does not prove every hidden record is gone.
Open the downloaded copy
Check the output format and warnings, then open or play the downloaded file. A new hash is expected after metadata changes. Visible text, speech, attachments and the filename need a separate privacy check.
Documents: read PDF Info and XMP separately, or Office core and custom properties. Text, comments, revisions and attachments are content. Metadata cleanup is not redaction.
Why remove document metadata?
Documents can retain authors, companies, templates, software, edit dates, revision labels, and custom properties after the visible page looks finished.
Metadata only
Strip labels, not content
Remove writable identity, location, software, date, and custom fields without transcoding the actual file.
Clean one file Proof after cleanupTrust the rescan
The generated copy is parsed again at the same depth. Removed, preserved, and residual fields stay separate.

The original never changes. Save the clean copy and a safe JSON record of every output check.
View metadata firstHow document cleanup works
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files are cleaned inside this browser tab. The selected file and generated copy are never uploaded.
- 01
Choose one file
Select a supported document file. The bytes remain inside this browser tab.
- 02
Scan the original
The real signature, technical structure, writable metadata, and signatures are checked before cleanup.
- 03
Remove metadata locally
A format-specific engine removes descriptive tags while retaining media and document content.
- 04
Verify the output
The copy is reopened, structurally compared, and scanned again before download is enabled.
- 05
Forget the session
Clear, replace, or refresh to stop workers and release temporary browser objects.

What this report cannot prove
- PDF page content and embedded files can carry their own metadata and are not rewritten.
- Office comments, revisions, hidden sheets or slides, macros, and embedded objects are preserved.
- Any existing PDF or OOXML digital signature becomes invalid after modification.
