Blindfold Metadata Cleaner

What is Blindfold?

Blindfold is a privacy-first file metadata cleaner that runs entirely in your browser. It removes hidden EXIF data, GPS coordinates, device timestamps, and invisible AI-generated content markers from your files before you share them. Zero uploads. Local only. Ever.

Every photo taken on a phone or camera embeds EXIF metadata — GPS coordinates, device model, and timestamps — directly into the file. This data travels silently with your photo wherever you share it, often revealing your exact location to anyone who knows how to look. Blindfold gives you back control.

Key Features

• Local Browser Cleaning: Uses Web Workers to scan and clean files entirely in your device's memory. Your file never leaves your computer.

• Free Tier: Cleans JPEG, PNG, and WebP images with 10 free scrubs per day, resetting at midnight local time.

• Pro Tier: Extends support to PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and AI-generated images. Removes C2PA tags and XMP metadata from AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E.

• No Account Required: Clean files instantly without signing up. Just drop, clean, and share.

• Complete Privacy: When you close the tab, nothing remains. No servers, no logs, no traces.

Who Is It For?

Blindfold is built for journalists, privacy advocates, photographers, remote workers, and anyone who shares files online and wants to ensure their personal location, device info, or AI-generated prompts stay private. It’s also ideal for corporate teams handling sensitive documents that cannot be uploaded to third-party servers.

Why Blindfold Stands Out

Unlike online metadata removal tools that require file uploads to remote servers, Blindfold is 100% local. It uses cutting-edge Web Worker technology to process files inside your browser, ensuring your data never touches the internet. For Pro users, Blindfold goes a step further by detecting and removing AI-gen markers that most tools miss — keeping you anonymous even when sharing content created with generative AI. It’s fast, free to start, and built with privacy as the core principle.
