DOCX cleaner
What metadata can a DOCX contain?
DOCX metadata includes document properties such as the author, title, creation date, and editing application. These properties can reveal an author or organisation when a Word document is sent to a client or shared publicly.
File Meta Cleaner removes detected core properties including title, subject, creator, keywords, description, last editor, and creation or modification dates. It also removes supported app properties including application, company, manager, and template.
Processing occurs locally in your browser. The cleaner verifies that other document parts remain unchanged and refuses documents with fields that display document properties. This is document-property cleaning, not complete DOCX sanitization.
How to remove metadata from a Word document
- Choose a DOCX document of up to 15 MB.
- Review the properties, then select Remove detected metadata.
- Download the cleaned DOCX and review it in Word or a compatible viewer before sending it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What DOCX metadata can File Meta Cleaner remove?
The tool removes detected core and app document properties, including author-related values, title, subject, keywords, description, dates, application, company, manager, and template.
Will the document text and layout remain unchanged?
The cleaner changes only supported properties and verifies that the contents of all other document parts are unchanged. Review important documents after cleaning before sharing them.
Why is the older DOC format not supported?
DOC is a legacy binary format with a different and more complex internal structure. This page supports the modern DOCX format only so cleaning and structural verification can remain conservative.
Does this remove comments, tracked changes, or hidden text?
No. Comments, revisions, custom XML, embedded content, and visible or hidden document text are outside the supported document-property scope.
Why does the cleaner refuse some DOCX documents?
A document-property field can display a property, such as the author or title, within the document itself. The cleaner refuses documents containing these fields to protect visible text. Keep the original and review any fields in Word before deciding whether to remove them.
