## What is Leakless?

Check files before sharing: see what your documents, PDFs, photos and ZIPs reveal, and send a clean copy

You worked on a file for weeks, and it remembers all of it: the folder it was saved in and what you called that folder, who left comments, how the final price was agreed, the version before last, your name. None of it shows on the page, but all of it can be seen by the person you send it to. Leakless shows it to you first.

HOW IT WORKS
Drop a file on Leakless. In seconds you see what the recipient could find, from "Critical" to "For your information", in plain words: the comment, the name, the folder, the deleted sentence or the formula with your commission. Then create a clean copy: what everyone sees stays as it is, the hidden layers go, and your original is never changed.

WHY LEAKLESS
	•	It shows the file the way the recipient sees it: what everyone sees on top, what hides underneath. You understand the risk in a second, not after reading a list of metadata fields.
	•	Documents, not just photos. Leakless reads inside documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs and ZIP archives, where the costly mistakes live.
	•	Nothing leaves your device. Every check and every clean copy happens on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. No network connections, no account, no data collected.
	•	You decide what goes. Keep the comments you still need or accept the tracked changes, and remove everything else.
	•	Pay once. No subscription. One purchase works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and with Family Sharing.

WHAT IT FINDS AND REMOVES
Documents, spreadsheets and presentations (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX and their templates):
	•	tracked changes, comments and who wrote them;
	•	hidden text, speaker notes and hidden slides;
	•	author, company, editing time and template paths;
	•	hidden sheets with everything on them, the folders the file was saved in, printer names;
	•	files and spreadsheets embedded inside, including the data behind charts;
	•	photo locations and camera data inside the document.

PDF:
	•	earlier versions saved inside the file;
	•	comments, annotations and attached files;
	•	author, the app that made it, links to files on your computer;
	•	text cut off at the page edge that is still there in full;
	•	scripts and private data left by editing apps.

Photos (JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, GIF):
	•	GPS location, camera and serial numbers, capture dates;
	•	editing history, authors and the hidden thumbnail that can still show the uncropped picture.

ZIP archives:
	•	every supported file inside, cleaned one by one;
	•	Mac leftovers (.DS_Store, __MACOSX) that list your folder's other files, archive comments and dates.

Also: OpenDocument files, RTF and plain text (invisible characters), SVG drawings, and older .doc, .xls and .ppt files. Leakless even checks the file name and can drop words like "internal" or "draft" from the copy.

Some things it points out rather than removes, and says so: the full source data behind a pivot table, black boxes laid over text instead of a real redaction, macros, form field values.

FREE TO CHECK
Checking files is free, as often as you like; sample files show what Leakless finds before you open your own. Your first 3 clean copies are free.
Leakless Pro adds unlimited clean copies, several files at once and ZIP archives, for a single payment shared by you and 5 more members of your apple family.
