Browser-first handling
Files are processed in the browser cleaning pipeline whenever possible, reducing unnecessary exposure and keeping the experience fast for photos, graphics, and common videos.
Private file hygiene for a global web
Remove metadata from images and videos before you share.
Clean selected EXIF, XMP, comment and timestamp containers in supported image and video files. Review the before-and-after report, then download a copy. Guests can clean 5 files at once; free accounts can clean 10. Keep your originals and check each result before sharing.
Browser-first processing
No public file storage
Fast batch downloads
Metadata cleaner
Drop files, scrub details, download clean copies.
The cleaner runs locally in your browser whenever possible, which keeps the workflow fast and reduces exposure. Image files are re-encoded or rebuilt without common metadata chunks. MP4 and MOV files are scanned for recognizable metadata atoms and text payloads while preserving playable media structure.

Privacy posture
Built for trust before every share.
Fenwick DataClean is designed around a privacy-first workflow that people can understand immediately. Clean files without an account, create a free account for larger batches, and download scrubbed copies without needing technical knowledge.
Simple batch limits
Guests can clean up to 5 files per batch. Free accounts can clean up to 10 files per batch, making repeated privacy checks easier without complicating the workflow.
Clear privacy habits
Every cleaned file gets a status report before download, so users can build a repeatable habit: upload, scrub, review, and share with less hidden information attached.
Supported formats
Made for everyday sharing formats.
The app focuses on the file types people share most often: photos, graphics, screenshots, short videos, and mobile camera clips. Each file receives a cleaning report so users can see what happened before they download.

Everyday use cases
A cleaner that feels simple enough to become a privacy habit.
Most people do not open a metadata inspector before they post a photo, send a portfolio file, or upload a short video. They just need a dependable step that fits into normal sharing. Fenwick DataClean gives people a direct path: choose files, clean copies, review status notes, and download. The interface avoids clutter, works on phones and desktops, and explains privacy in plain American English so international visitors can use it without needing a technical background.
The tool is useful before public social posts, marketplace listings, freelance deliveries, screenshots in support tickets, press assets, school projects, resumes converted into images, short-form video uploads, and client media handoffs. It does not replace careful review of visible content, filenames, or legal recordkeeping, but it makes one important privacy layer easy to repeat.
