Tools

The Tools module gathers the practical everyday utilities: remove or apply a PDF password, sanitize it from active content, strip metadata from an image and rename a file to its hash. All locally, with no online services.

What it does

What the Tools module does

Batch on folders

Every tool can run on a list of files or a whole folder: an error on one file does not stop the others.

PDF password

Removes protection from a PDF or encrypts it with a password (AES-128) for opening and permissions.

Sanitize PDF

Removes metadata (author/creator) and active content (JavaScript, OpenAction, attachments) from the PDF.

Strip image metadata

Removes EXIF/GPS/XMP/IPTC from JPEG/PNG without re-compression (lossless).

Rename by hash

Renames the file to its SHA-256 hash, for a tamper-evident name.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Pick the utility and drop the file (PDF or image).
  2. Set any parameters (password) and get the processed file.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove a PDF password?
Drop the PDF into the «Remove password» tool and get an unprotected copy; you can also encrypt a PDF with a password (AES-128) for opening and permissions.
What does "sanitizing" a PDF mean?
It removes metadata (author/creator) and potentially risky active content — JavaScript, OpenAction, attachments — leaving the visual document intact.
Can I strip EXIF/GPS from a photo?
Yes: the tool removes EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC from JPEG and PNG without re-compression (lossless), useful to publish an image without revealing device and location.
