Strip what a file reveals, lock what it holds, and mark what you share
Everything here runs in your browser. Files are never uploaded.Sending a file gives away more than the file. A photograph can carry the exact place it was taken, a PDF can carry the name of whoever made it, and an email attachment sits on several servers on the way. These tools deal with all three: remove what a file discloses about you, lock what it contains behind a password, and stamp ownership on anything you publish. Every one of them runs on your own device, which is the only arrangement that makes sense for this job.
Metadata Remover lists what a photograph is carrying before it changes anything: the camera, the date, the software, and often the GPS coordinates of where you stood. For JPG and PNG it strips those blocks without re-saving the picture, so the image data is unchanged byte for byte and there is no quality loss.
Encrypt File seals any file with AES-256 and a password of your choosing, producing a single .enc file that only that password opens. Protect ZIP does the same for a set of files in a format anyone can open with common zip software. Protect PDF puts a password on a document while leaving it a PDF, which is what to use when the person receiving it must be able to open it in a reader.
Unlock PDF removes a password you already know, for a bank statement you keep having to type a date into. Zip / Unzip opens and builds ordinary archives. Neither tool can crack or guess a password, and neither ever sees your file.
Watermark Image and Watermark PDF stamp text or a logo across what you publish. A visible watermark does not prevent copying; it makes the copy traceable and awkward, which is usually the real goal.
Encrypt File hides the file name as well as the contents, so use it when the name itself is private. A protected zip encrypts the contents but leaves file names and sizes visible to anyone who opens the archive. A protected PDF stays a PDF and opens in any reader, which is the most convenient and the least airtight of the three.
Whichever you use, send the password separately: a password in the same email as the file protects nothing.
Often, yes. Phones record GPS coordinates in the photo unless you have turned location off for the camera, and anyone who receives the file can read them. Metadata Remover shows you the coordinates before it deletes them.
The single encrypted file. A zip with AES-256 protects the contents but leaves every file name and size readable, so an archive called appraisal-2026.pdf announces itself. Encrypt File hides the name too.
No, and neither can anyone else. The encryption is done on your device with your password and nothing about it is stored. A forgotten password means the file is gone, so keep it in a password manager.
For JPG and PNG, no. The metadata blocks are cut out and the image data is copied unchanged, so the file is smaller and pixel-identical. HEIC and WebP have to be re-saved by the browser, which is not lossless, and the tool says so.
It is real AES-256 encryption, so a long passphrase is genuinely hard to break. A short or guessable password is not, because the attempt can be made offline as fast as a computer allows.
No. Send the file one way and the password another, such as a message or a call. A password in the same email defeats the point, since anyone who reads the email has both.
