A privacy-focused browser extension that automatically removes unnecessary metadata from files before they are uploaded to any website.
Most files (images, videos, documents, PDFs, audio) contain hidden metadata (EXIF, GPS location, device info, author, software version, etc.) that can leak personal details when uploading to websites.
MetaSafe automatically strips this metadata on-the-fly before the website receives the original file containing the metadata, protecting your privacy.
- Automatic metadata removal when uploading files via
<input type="file">or using drag-and-drop. - Support for common filetypes.
- Works across all Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera).
- 📷 Images: JPG/JPEG (EXIF data removal)
The following are planned for progressive rollout:
- 📷 Images: PNG
- 📄 Documents: PDF, DOCX
- 🎵 Audio: MP3
- 🎥 Video: MP4
More formats will be added in upcoming releases — check the Roadmap.
