Common questions
What can I do for free?
View and remove metadata from up to 5 files per session. Activate a license to unlock unlimited files, batch processing, and metadata editing.
Does MetaZero upload my files?
Never. All metadata reading, removal, and editing happens entirely on your Mac. The only network request is license validation, which sends your license key — never your files.
What file types does MetaZero support?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC images and PDF documents. MetaZero reads EXIF, TIFF, GPS, IPTC, and PDF document attributes.
Will MetaZero modify my original files?
Never. MetaZero always creates a new cleaned copy. Your original files are never touched or modified.
