About this extension
Photos, documents and PDFs carry more than you can see: the GPS position where a photo was taken, the phone and its serial number, the author and company in a Word file, editing time in a spreadsheet, names in a PDF.
FileSanity removes that metadata the moment you choose, drop or paste a file for upload, on any website, before the site receives it. The cleaning happens inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to FileSanity.
Free, with no account:
- Cleans JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP and PDF uploads on every site.
- The toolbar button shows how many files were cleaned on the current tab and today.
- Pause it for any site with one switch.
- Drop a file on the toolbar panel to clean it and download the clean copy.
With a FileSanity Pro, Team or API plan:
- Your saved policy (the kinds of field you choose to keep) applies to every upload.
- Rules per site: always clean, never clean, or ask each time.
- Right-click an image and choose "Save without metadata".
- A log of your last 100 cleans, kept in your browser only.
What it does not do: it does not clean files a site reads from the clipboard, and an encrypted PDF is reported as not cleaned rather than changed. The source code is open under the MIT licence.
Who it is for: people who send files to strangers. Journalists, lawyers, HR staff, freelancers and marketplace sellers.
