Frequently asked questions
- Which Office files are supported?
- Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and PowerPoint (.pptx). The metadata is inside the file itself and is read directly.
- What metadata does an Office file contain?
- Author, last modified by, company, manager, number of revisions, total editing time, template and the Office version.
- Why does this matter for privacy?
- Office documents often contain names and company details you would rather not share. This tool shows what is in there.
- Is my document stored?
- No. The file is only read to display the metadata and then deleted immediately.
- Can I also remove the metadata?
- Yes — with our separate "remove metadata" tool. This page is only for viewing it.
