Remove metadata from Office documents

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files record who wrote them, the company, and how long they've been edited. ShredMeta shows you those hidden properties and strips them by rewriting the document package.

Questions people ask

What metadata do Office documents contain?

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files store core properties (author, last-modified-by, title, company), an extended set (revision count, total editing time, application) and any custom properties added by templates or your organization.

Which Office formats are supported?

The modern .docx, .xlsx and .pptx formats. ShredMeta rewrites the document package so the properties are removed while the file still opens normally.

Does cleaning change the document's content?

No. Only the metadata and embedded thumbnails are removed. The text, tables, slides and formatting are untouched.

Are my documents stored anywhere?

No. Files are processed in memory and never written to disk, then wiped after processing.
