PowerPoint Metadata Remover
Drop a .pptx, choose what to strip, and download a clean copy — author, company, comments, hidden slides, speaker notes, EXIF, and more. Nothing is uploaded.
Why Clean a PowerPoint Before You Share It
When you send a deck or post it for download, everything inside travels with it — including data you can't see in PowerPoint's normal view. A .pptx records the author's name, your company, the manager, the revision count, how long the file has been edited, reviewer comments (with names), hidden draft slides, candid speaker notes, EXIF/GPS coordinates inside embedded photos, and links that can leak a local username or network share.
This tool strips that data and gives you a clean copy to share — all in your browser.
How to Use It
- Drop a
.pptxinto the upload area. The tool inspects it and shows what's inside. - Pick a preset:
- Remove personal info (Safe) — authors, company, custom properties, sensitivity labels, comments. Doesn't change the visible deck.
- Remove hidden content — also deletes hidden slides and speaker notes, strips image EXIF/GPS, and removes local-path links.
- Maximum privacy — also removes all web links, embedded fonts, macros, and signatures.
- Click Clean & download. The cleaned file downloads, and you see a before/after privacy check plus a list of what was removed.
Notes and Limits
- Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
- Content-changing removals (hidden slides, notes, links, fonts) are off in the Safe preset and clearly marked.
- Cleaning a signed file removes its digital signature (any edit invalidates a signature).
- PowerPoint re-records "last modified by" the next time you save — this clean reflects the file as you'd share it now.
