Light
For files you mostly trust.
A virus scan and a clean wipe of hidden metadata. No re-encoding, no structural changes — your file comes back almost identical to what you uploaded, just without EXIF, GPS coordinates, author info, timestamps, or other metadata leakage.
- Removes EXIF, GPS, author info, timestamps, embedded tracking metadata
- Keeps format, fidelity, fonts, layout, full editability
- Best for photos before sharing, documents from a trusted source, quick metadata audits
Standard · default
Trust nothing. Keep the format.
Full Content Disarm & Reconstruction. Macros, scripts, embedded objects and metadata are stripped; the file is re-encoded and rebuilt from safe content only. You get the same format back, minus the threats — without converting your .docx into something else.
- Removes macros, scripts, embedded objects, OLE, metadata, hidden code paths, steganographic payloads
- Keeps original format, visible content, basic editability
- Best for the everyday case — anything from an unknown source you still want to open in its native app
Aggressive
Maximum safety. Editability takes a back seat.
Standard sanitization, then the file is converted to its safest counterpart — Office to PDF, images to PNG, HTML to plain text, video to MP4. The result is harder to weaponise, but you lose the original format and most of its editability.
- Removes everything Standard removes, plus format-level complexity
- Converts Office → PDF, images → PNG, SVG → PNG, HTML → TXT, EPUB → PDF, audio → WAV, video → MP4
- Best for high-risk attachments, files headed into a sensitive environment, or where you only need the visible content
