XORD DEFENSE | Metadata Sanitizer for Windows 10/11

Every photo you share, every PDF you send — they carry hidden data. GPS coordinates. Device fingerprints. Timestamps. Corporations harvest this to map your life, track your movements, and build profiles they sell to the highest bidder. MetaPurge strips it all. Metadata Sanitizer for Windows 10/11 — strips EXIF, PDF metadata, and file timestamps from your documents. "Your files are talking behind your back. MetaPurge shuts them up."

What It Strips

  • EXIF data (GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps)
  • Software identifiers
  • Thumbnail previews

From PDFs:

  • Title, Author, Subject, Keywords
  • Creator application
  • Creation/modification dates
  • PDF Producer stamp

From All Files:

  • Windows "Date Modified" → reset to 1990
  • Windows "Date Created" → reset to 1990

  1. Drag files onto the window
  2. Cleaned copies saved as filename_cleaned.ext
  3. Originals remain untouched
