Local privacy cleanup

OzPurge

Remove metadata, redact sensitive text, and prepare files for safer sharing, all locally in your browser.

Local only All local features free Best-effort cleanup
Local-only note

Files are processed locally in your browser. OzPurge does not upload your files.

OzPurge removes common metadata and sensitive text on a best-effort basis. Review cleaned or redacted output before sharing.

Metadata Cleaner

Remove common hidden metadata locally

JPEG and PNG cleanup work now. Office and PDF remain honest placeholders unless safe local support is available.

You can add multiple files. Cleaned files stay in memory until you download them or leave the page.

Cleaning strategy

How much metadata to remove

Use Standard for common privacy cleanup. Aggressive removes more profile or density metadata where supported.

Aggressive cleaning warning

Aggressive cleaning may affect color, profile, or layout behavior in some apps.

Batch actions

Process many files without leaving the page

Files are cleaned one by one. A failure in one file should not stop the rest of the batch.

No batch is running.

Redacted output

Safe Destroy

Prepare a safer disposal workflow

Browsers cannot securely delete the original file on disk. OzPurge can help with in-memory cleanup, a random replacement file, and a handling report.

No file selected

Choose a file to generate a replacement file and a destruction report.

Browser limitation

Browsers cannot reliably overwrite and securely delete original files on your disk. OzPurge can clear in-memory file data, generate random replacement files, and create a destruction report, but true secure deletion depends on your operating system and storage device.

Guide

Use OzPurge carefully and review the results

Privacy cleanup can help, but some files or secrets may still require specialist review or tooling.

Everything happens locally

OzPurge processes files and text in your browser. It does not upload your files, previews, or reports.

Keep originals until review is complete

Metadata cleanup and redaction can be irreversible. Review the output before deleting or sharing anything.

Best-effort, not forensic-grade

OzPurge removes common metadata and masks likely secrets, but it does not guarantee perfect sanitization, perfect detection, or secure disk deletion.

Review before sharing

Open the cleaned file, scan the redacted output, and confirm the result still works before publishing or sharing it.
