A little clarity.
Plain answers about your files, your privacy and what MetaQuiet can do today.
Do my files leave my device?
No. Scanning and cleaning run locally. MetaQuiet has no upload endpoint, account system or analytics. Sharing a result opens your chosen destination, which has its own privacy practices.
Will my original file change?
No. MetaQuiet creates a separate copy. The original is never overwritten.
Which files can I clean today?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4/MOV/M4A, PDF, DOCX/XLSX/PPTX and ZIP, plus Ogg/Opus, ADTS AAC, WMA, AVI/FLV/MKV/WebM and 3GP/3G2, each with its own limits. RAW, AVIF, BigTIFF and legacy Office files are not supported.
Does this remove everything private?
No. Visible faces, addresses, text, watermarks and hidden information inside image pixels remain. This is metadata minimization, not anonymization.
Can I use it offline?
The app scans and cleans offline. The browser cleaner works locally once loaded. Downloading the app or sharing through another service may need a connection.
Is MetaQuiet free?
Yes. During early access everything is free and unlimited, and nothing is for sale. When Pro launches, early users keep Pro at no cost.
