MetaStrip is a client-side web tool that removes hidden metadata from photos, documents, video, and audio files entirely in the browser, ensuring no data ever leaves the user's device. It combines existing libraries with custom parsers for various formats, addressing a clear privacy gap with a well-executed, zero-server approach.

Target audience: privacy-conscious users, journalists, security researchers, general public
