What it does
Body, headers, footers and notes
Tracked changes and comments in the body, headers, footers, footnotes and endnotes are handled in the same way.
Accept or reject, all at once
“Accept all” keeps inserted text and removes deleted text. “Reject all” removes inserted text and brings deleted text back.
Word layout left alone
Only the tracked changes in the Word XML are rewritten. Images, styles and page setup are copied byte for byte.
Read again before saving
The new file is read again and must show no tracked changes, comments or document details left before it is saved.
Counts and authors first
Before you clean, see the insertions, deletions, formatting changes and moves, who changed what and when, and the comment text.
Use cases
- Remove the review marks (tracked changes) before you submit or share a file
- Remove comments and author names before you send a file outside your organisation
- Accept all changes and keep only the final text
- Keep the tracked changes but hide who made them

Related tools
Word Studio
Read a .docx on a PC or phone without Word, then take the body out as text, Markdown or HTML. It offers a contents list, character counts and one-click picture extraction. The file is never uploaded, and the page layout is not reproduced.
Metadata Studio
A workbench for looking at, fixing and comparing the author, company, capture time and location stored in photos, PDFs and Office files. Every edit is re-read and verified, with a before/after diff. To just strip everything, use the dedicated remover tools.
Share Safe
Before you hand a file over, see what is hiding in it — listed per file with severity — and get a safe copy with everything removable removed. The copy is re-checked afterwards, and whatever is left comes with manual steps. Files are never uploaded.
Images to PDF
Drop images, put them in order and get one PDF. Choose page size, orientation and margins; phone photos are rotated correctly. Images are converted on your device and never uploaded.
Compress PDF
Drop a PDF to cut its size. Only photos and scans are recompressed, so text and graphics stay crisp. Your PDF is processed on your device and never uploaded.
PDF Editor
Lay text (Japanese included), shapes, arrows, a highlighter, freehand drawing and images on top of a PDF, and fill in its form fields. Text, shapes, highlights and freehand strokes are written as PDF vectors and real text, never as pictures; an added image is embedded as an image. Rewriting the original text and true redaction are not possible.
