Word metadata viewer
See what metadata is stored in your Word file
Choose a file to inspect supported properties and stored values inside your browser. The file stays on your device and nothing is changed unless you choose to remove metadata.
Local metadata inspection

Drop a Word file here
We read one file at a time inside this browser. Nothing is uploaded or changed.
DOCX only · up to 75.0 MB
Removes DOCX package metadata only. It does not remove comments, tracked changes, hidden text, headers, macros, or document content.
Inspection scope
What the Word 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 Word metadata too?
You can remove the supported metadata after inspection here, or open the dedicated removal tool for the full cleanup guide.
How DOCX metadata works
Separate Word package properties from document content
A DOCX file is a ZIP-based Office package with dedicated property parts as well as the document itself. Clean the supported package metadata, then review Word content separately before sharing.
Package property parts
Author, last editor, company, template, 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 without intentionally changing the main Word document content.
Document content needs its own review
Comments, tracked changes, hidden text, headers, fields, links, and embedded objects are document content, not package properties. They remain and must be reviewed in Word.
Before you inspect
File metadata viewer questions
A precise explanation of what happens to your file and what the viewer can report.
Is my Word 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.
