Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of hidden data is removed?
Our tool wipes out the "Core Properties" of a document. This includes the author's name, the person who last saved the file, company information, document creation/modification dates, hidden comments, and revision history.
Will this alter my document's text or layout?
Absolutely not. The tool strictly targets the hidden XML property files (in Office documents) and metadata headers (in PDFs). Your text, images, fonts, and formatting remain completely untouched.
Which file formats are supported?
We currently support modern Microsoft Office formats including Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), as well as standard PDF documents.
Is my uploaded document secure?
Yes. Your privacy is our top priority. Files are transferred over secure SSL connections and are automatically deleted from our servers 10 minutes after processing. No one will ever view your files.
