What this tool does
Remove Metadata from XLSX clears the hidden details Excel stores in a workbook: author name, company, last-saved-by, and the created and modified timestamps. They travel with the file even when no cell shows them, and this tool blanks them out so a shared spreadsheet does not quietly reveal who made it or where it came from.
How it works
Open your .xlsx and the tool unpacks it in your browser, rewrites the document properties to clear the identifying fields, and gives you a clean copy to download. The cells and sheets are left alone and your original file is untouched. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use Remove Metadata from XLSX
Sharing a workbook without revealing your name or company
Sending a spreadsheet outside your organization
Publishing a template that should not carry its history
Clearing author details from a shared data file
