Inspection scope
What the Excel viewer checks
The viewer reports these supported metadata containers and shows readable stored values where the format allows it.
Application metadata
Software, template, company, editing-time, and application-generated fields.
Custom properties
User-defined fields stored in an Office Open XML package.
Embedded preview thumbnail
The document preview stored inside an Office file.
Need to remove the Excel metadata too?
You can remove the supported metadata after inspection here, or open the dedicated removal tool for the full cleanup guide.
How XLSX metadata works
Separate package properties from workbook content
An XLSX workbook is a ZIP package with dedicated property parts as well as spreadsheet content. Clean the supported package metadata, then review workbook content separately before sharing.
Package property parts
Author, company, application, and custom values are commonly stored in separate docProps XML parts. The tool removes those supported parts and their package relationships.
Preview and package timestamps
The cleanup removes an embedded preview thumbnail when present and normalises ZIP package modification timestamps. It does not change worksheet data to do this.
Workbook content needs its own review
Hidden sheets, comments, named ranges, external links, and data connections are workbook content, not package properties. They remain and must be reviewed in Excel.
Before you inspect
File metadata viewer questions
A precise explanation of what happens to your file and what the viewer can report.
Is my Excel file uploaded?
No. Inspection runs inside your browser and the selected file is not sent to REMOVEMYEXIF.
Does viewing metadata change the file?
No. Inspection is read-only. The original file is not modified, and a clean copy is only created if you explicitly choose Remove metadata.
Does the viewer find every kind of hidden data?
No. It reports the supported metadata containers listed on the page. Hidden document content, comments, revisions, macros, watermarks, and unsupported tag systems require separate review.
