✅ IMAGE, VIDEO & AUDIO METADATA REMOVAL

Files exported from Canva, Premiere Pro, cameras, phones, and other software may contain metadata such as:

• Author or user names

• Software information

• Creation and modification dates

• Camera or device information

• GPS and location data

• Comments and titles

• Local folder paths

KeyCraft can create an anonymized copy with detectable standard metadata removed.

Examples:

• picture.png → picture.kf.png

• movie.mp4 → movie.kf.mp4

• music.mp3 → music.kf.mp3

Privacy features:

• The original file is not modified

• Processing is performed locally on your PC

• Files are not uploaded to an external server

• No internet connection is required

• The processed file is inspected again after conversion

Supported formats:

Images:

PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP and GIF

Video:

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI

Audio:

MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, Opus, M4A and AAC

Important:

The anonymization feature removes detectable standard metadata. It does not remove information that is visible in an image or video, audible in an audio recording, or included in the original file name.

Always check the processed file before publishing it.

Executable files, documents and compressed archives are not supported by the anonymization feature.
