Strip a
document
A photograph of a document can carry the phone that took it, the account it was edited on, and the exact spot on earth where you stood.

What this does not do
Being honest about the limits is the whole point of a tool like this, because a false sense of safety is worse than none.
- It does not touch what is visible. A name, a signature, a desk, a reflection in a screen, a staple pattern, a printer's yellow dots — all still there. Look at the picture before you send it.
- It does not handle PDFs or Office files. Those carry author names, revision history and sometimes deleted text. Convert to an image, or print to a fresh PDF, and check it again.
- It does not hide that you sent it. Your email address, your phone number, the network you used and the time you did it are all outside this page.
- It does not defuse a watermark. Some documents are issued with per-recipient differences — a space, a word order, an invisible mark — designed to identify whoever leaked them. Stripping metadata does nothing about that.
Before you send anything
- Think about how many people could have had this document. If it is three, no tool helps.
- Retype rather than forward, where the wording is not the evidence.
- Send from a device and an account that is not tied to you, not just an email that is not.
- We publish the document, never the person. Nothing identifying a source is kept longer than verification takes, and nothing identifying a source is published at all.
