Batch Metadata Removal
Choose up to 20 JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF or DOCX files, clean the batch in your browser, then download the available copies in one ZIP. Each output is re-inspected; check warnings before sharing.

How to remove metadata from multiple files
Choose the files you will share
Mix supported formats in one selection. Files rejected for format or size are listed separately; accepted files stay available.
Clean and review every result
Start the batch and check each status. Verified means reinspection found no supported removable fields. A warning is not a verification success; a failed file has no cleaned output.
Download and check the delivery
Download individual copies or a ZIP when at least two outputs are available. Compare images, check document contents and review filenames. Save the optional report to identify output bytes by SHA-256.
Plan your batch
- Files per batch
- Up to 20
- Size per file
- Up to 25 MiB
- Combined size
- Up to 100 MiB
- Input
- Individual images, PDFs and DOCX files; ZIP uploads are not supported
- Output
- Separate cleaned copies, ZIP download and optional JSON report
What to review for each format
- JPG
- JPEG metadata segments are removed without re-encoding. Pixels and quality stay identical; an orientation flag and color profile are kept when present.
- PNG / WebP
- Supported metadata containers are removed. Visible watermarks and text remain.
- Supported Info and XMP metadata is targeted. Page text, annotations and attachments may retain private details; saving can invalidate signatures.
- DOCX
- Supported properties, comments and review traces are removed. Tracked changes resolve to the current visible document. Keep your original.
Bulk cleanup questions
Can I upload a ZIP or a folder?
Select the individual supported files inside it. BeforeShare creates a ZIP of the cleaned outputs; it does not inspect an uploaded ZIP or recursively read a folder.
Does the ZIP include failed or unverified files?
Failed files have no cleaned output and are excluded. Available outputs with incomplete verification or remaining fields are included and marked for review in the tool. Downloading a ZIP does not make those warnings disappear.
Does cleanup remove the filename?
No. Output names derive from the original names with a cleanup suffix; duplicates receive distinct names. Rename filenames containing client names, addresses or other private details before sharing.
What does the batch report prove?
It records the available outputs’ SHA-256 fingerprints, reinspection status and removal counts. It excludes filenames and extracted values. It is an unsigned local record, not a certificate, signature validation or proof that visible content is private.
Predictable Local Batch Processing
Prepare a set of supported files without uploading them. BeforeShare processes each file sequentially to keep browser memory use controlled, preserves duplicate filenames safely in the ZIP, and shows any file it cannot clean.
