Remove Metadata From Word Documents Online
Frequently Asked Questions
How to remove metadata from a Word document?
Open the Word tool, drag in your .docx or .doc file, and MetaDocu instantly lists the hidden metadata it finds — original author, company, creation and edit dates, total editing time, tracked changes and revision history (RSIDs). Click Clear to strip those fields from the document's internal XML, then download the sanitized copy. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly, so the file is never uploaded to any server, and a verification report confirms the metadata is actually gone before you share it.
Where can I view the metadata of a Word document?
In Word, go to File → Info → Properties → Advanced Properties to view complete metadata, including author, revision count, editing time, and other hidden data.
Can others tell if Word document properties have been modified?
This tool removes or overwrites common document metadata fields. However, some hidden information may still exist depending on the file format, editing history, embedded objects, PDF structure, or operating system metadata. We recommend using the after-clean verification report before sharing sensitive files.
How to completely delete personal privacy information in a Word document?
Upload your Word document to the editor, clear all personal fields (author, company, notes, etc.) in the metadata editing area, save, and download. It is also recommended to check custom properties in the document properties panel.
Is it safe to edit document metadata online?
It is very safe. This tool processes everything locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server — all operations are completed on your device, fully protecting your data privacy.
