- The page lists PDF metadata fields and audio tags alongside photo EXIF and GPS data.
Field notes
The page describes a browser-based workflow: drop in a file, inspect the metadata it identifies, then download a cleaned copy. Its format-specific notes extend beyond photo EXIF to PDF /Info fields and audio tags such as ID3 and RIFF INFO. A geotagged sample photo is offered for testing; the claim that files remain on-device is stated by the site.
