Hidden Metadata Leak Simulator

Redact the visible sensitive content of a photo or document, then share it as-is or after metadata scrubbing — watch a recipient's metadata inspection reveal (or fail to find) GPS coordinates, author names, device models and deleted revision history.

Prepare a photo or document for sharing: draw redaction boxes over its sensitive visible content, then choose whether to share it as-is or after scrubbing its hidden metadata. Send it across, and inspect it as the recipient would — the visible content looks identical either way, but the metadata panel tells a very different story depending on whether scrubbing happened before the file left your hands.

⚙ Under the hood

Redact the visible sensitive content of a photo or document, then share it as-is or after metadata scrubbing — watch a recipient's metadata inspection reveal (or fail to find) the GPS coordinates, device model, author name, internal username and deleted revision history still riding along in the file's hidden metadata even though the visible content was properly redacted.
