File protection: anonymous, open source and fast
For the past few weeks, I've been working on a new version of my privacy site, which allows you to remove metadata from your files. This version is faster, more secure, and more anonymous: logins are now made with anonymous IDs, without collecting personal information.
The site supports more file types than before and remains largely open source. Everything is processed server-side and immediately returned to the user, without backup. Files are managed only in temporary variables and deleted at the end of the process.
The goal remains the same: to protect your privacy. Many people are unaware that shared files often contain sensitive information:
Photos → GPS location, date, device model
Documents → author's name, edit history, comments
This data can be used for tracking, OSINT, to feed AI, or even for identity theft.
In the future, I plan to add:
A lightweight API to automate certain tasks
New privacy-related tools
Lots of educational content
If you like the idea, feel free to test the site. I just uploaded the new version; there are probably some bugs. I don't know many thing about open source, so if someone want to help me to understand that would be kind. (:
My project: https://www.removemd.com/
Does it remove the title from the docs/pdf? I've seen a lot of "Document 7" or "First Draft 2007".
No it only removes metadata...
It may be useful to show it and give that option to the users.
I will try to implement it (:
It's obviously not mandatory. It's just a geature request, that I think would be useful.
Yes for sure, I'm currently fixing some back-end bugs. I will definitely add your idea somewhere (;. I also added something to view metadata and I'm planning to add an editor.
Have you ever used the website or my open source code? Is it good or do you have any other recommendations?
Thank you !
