Testimonials

Journalist who removes metadata from sensitive files.

Anna Harrison

International Journalist

After learning about metadata being used to monitor journalists, I was pleased to find TaskMate, which removes all GPS data, device names, and my details from the media I share. My entire department now relies on TaskMate for anonymity in our media sharing.

Web Developer who built solutions using TaskMate's Metadata Cleaner.

John O'Leary

Web Developer

As part of a team that developed a solution to label sensitive documents, I found that TaskMate enabled us to efficiently label large volumes of files through metadata tagging. We tried building this in-house, but TaskMate was much simpler to use and more reliable.

Head of Cybersecurity who uses TaskMate to protect against phishing.

Liam Feldt

Head of Cybersecurity

Our agency newsletters had attachments containing emails and names in the metadata, which were used to build profiles for phishing attacks. After using TaskMate to remove metadata from attached files, we immediately saw a reduction in phishing emails.

Frequently Asked Questions


Metadata is information about a file, such as its creation date, modification date, and file size. It is also used to store information about the content of a file, such as the camera settings used to take a photo or the author of a document.

.aif .aifc .aiff .avi .bat .bmp .c .conf .css .def .docx .epub .flac .gif .h .heic .htm .html .in .jpe .jpeg .jpg .ksh .list .log .m2a .m3a .m4v .mp2 .mp2a .mp3 .mp4 .mp4v .mpg4 .mpga .ncx .odc .odf .odg .odi .odp .ods .odt .oga .ogg .pdf .pl .png .ppm .pptx .spx .svg .svgz .tar .text .tif .tiff .txt .wav .xht .xhtml .xlsx .zip

Feel free to contact us if there is a filetype you would like added.

When you upload a file, our metadata tool will identify and remove the metadata depending on the file extension and MimeType.

The file will be stripped of metadata, and a clean file will be available for download immediately.

Removing metadata in general can result in files being corrupted.

Our Metadata Cleaner has looks for file extensions and MimeTypes, with profiles for each which try to reduce the risk of this occurring, which works well.

When you remove metadata from a file, you are essentially deleting information about the file. This can sometimes cause the file to become corrupted. For example, if you remove certain metadata from a photo, the photo may no longer be able to be opened.

If you are considering removing metadata from your files, we recommend that you keep a backup of your files first. This way, you can restore your files if they become corrupted.

Feel free to contact us if there is a filetype with consistent metadata cleaning errors, we would love to fix that for you.
