Strip author, company, last-saved-by, and pivot/query connection metadata from Excel spreadsheets.
XLSX files leak more than you'd expect: author, company name, last-saved-by, cached query connection strings, and even the path to source data files on internal networks. Sharing financial models or customer lists without scrubbing can disclose your data sources. SafeRestore removes all of it in your browser.
No — formulas, formatting, charts, and pivot tables are preserved. We only edit the document properties and connection metadata.
External query connection strings (which often expose internal database hostnames) are removed by default.
Only the modern .xlsx OOXML format is supported. Save as .xlsx first.
No. We unzip and edit the OOXML package locally in your browser.
Use SafeRestore Metadata Scrubber to handle this directly. The tool runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
