How to remove hidden data from a Word document
Word files remember who wrote them, who edited them, how long they were edited, and every comment and tracked change. This is how to remove all of it.

Open the document cleaner
Go to the Documents page.
- 02
Add your .docx file
You will see the author, company, comments and tracked changes found inside it.
- 03
Remove hidden data
Click the button. Tracked changes are accepted, comments are removed, and author details are cleared.
- 04
Download
The cleaned file opens normally in Word, Google Docs and Pages.
