What BeforeShare Is For
BeforeShare is built for the moment right before you send a file. Photos can expose where you were. PDFs can reveal who created them. Documents can carry company names, software details, and revision history. The product helps people inspect that hidden data first and then create a safer copy to share.
Why It Feels Different
Many tools only promise metadata removal. BeforeShare starts one step earlier by showing what is inside the file before anything is changed. That makes the tool easier to trust, easier to explain, and more useful for people who are not technical.
Private by Design
Inspection and cleanup run locally in the browser. The normal product flow does not require uploading file contents to a server, which reduces exposure and makes the core privacy promise straightforward.
Supported File Types
- Images: JPEG, PNG, and WebP with EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, and ICC metadata
- PDF: author, creator, producer, timestamps, keywords, and custom properties
- DOCX: author, company, manager, editing time, revisions, templates, and app information
How BeforeShare Works
- Inspect the hidden data inside the file
- Explain which fields create privacy risk
- Clean the metadata locally in the browser
- Download a safer copy to share
Who Uses It
BeforeShare is useful for journalists, job seekers, lawyers, freelancers, businesses, and anyone posting files online. The common need is simple: understand what a file exposes before it leaves your hands.
