About

🔒 100% Local Privacy. No Servers. No Data Leaks.

Every file you send to clients, partners, or upload online contains hidden digital footprints (metadata): your real name, company name, software versions, edit history, hidden comments, and even precise GPS coordinates of where a photo was taken. 

Inspired by the classic WinRAR philosophy, "Local Compliance & Metadata Stripper" is a lightweight, ultra-fast tool that instantly washes away all commercial and privacy risks from your files—directly inside your browser.

🚀 KEY BENEFITS:
• Fully Local: The extension operates completely client-side. File processing happens entirely in your machine's local memory (via WebAssembly). Perfect for corporate compliance, legal, and financial industries where data cannot leave the local network.
• High Performance: Optimized Uint8Array engine processes even large images and documents in milliseconds without call-stack errors or slowing down your browser.
• Safe and Non-Destructive: The utility always creates a clean copy for download, never modifying or destroying your original files.

🛠 SUPPORTED FORMATS & FEATURES:
• PDF Documents: Completely removes author, editor, and producer tags, and detaches XMP metadata while correctly rebuilding the cross-reference table (xref). Encrypted or password-protected PDFs remain untouched for safety.
• Microsoft Office (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX): Deeply cleans author fields, templates, and revision history within the XML structure. It safely leaves your macros (VBA) intact without triggering "corrupted file" warnings upon opening.
• Images (JPEG, PNG, WebP): Strips hidden EXIF and XMP chunks (GPS locations, camera serial numbers, thumbnails) while preserving essential color profiles (sRGB, gAMA) to prevent color distortion.

💼 LICENSE POLICY (WinRAR Model):
• For Personal Use: Permanently free. Full functionality with no feature restrictions.
• For Commercial & Corporate Use: Free 30-day trial. After the trial period ends, commercial organizations, businesses, and government entities are required to purchase a commercial license under the EULA terms.
