Clean metadata. Human files.

The problem

Every file you send carries silent fingerprints

When you send a .pptx or .pdf to a client, your laptop username, your editor (Google Slides / Canva / LibreOffice), and your last-modified timestamp ride along inside the file. Common examples:

Author: john.macbook-2022 Application: Canva Last Modified By: Aziz B. Producer: Skia/PDF m130 Custom XML: name="Google Shape;123;p"

It's not malicious. It's just sloppy. GoHumanize fixes it in one click.

Presets

Three presets. Pick what fits.

Works on .pptx, .docx, .xlsx, and .pdf.

AzizWares Professional

Best for client-facing files. Replaces tool fingerprints with clean business defaults (Author: AzizWares, Application: Microsoft Office).

Personal

For files you want attributed to your own name. Asks once, saves locally.

Privacy Clean

Removes identity, tool, and embedded metadata instead of replacing it. Strips comments, speaker notes, custom XML. Default preset.

Mac developer? Use Homebrew:

Privacy promise

Runs on your machine. Period.

We don't see your files. We don't want to.

No upload
No telemetry
Originals preserved

Default behavior: a cleaned copy lands next to the original as filename.humanized.ext. Overwrite mode is hidden behind advanced settings and creates a verified .bak backup before replacing.

Scripting? There's a CLI too ↓
# Inspect one file
gohumanize inspect deck.pptx --json

# Normalize with AzizWares preset
gohumanize normalize deck.pptx --preset azizwares

# Dry-run PDF privacy clean (PDFs are inspect-only this build)
gohumanize clean report.pdf --privacy --dry-run

# Recursive batch on a folder
gohumanize batch ./client-deliverables --preset azizwares --recursive
