Questions before you inspect

What can File Deep Info do?

File Deep Info identifies the actual file format, displays metadata, finds hidden content, extracts embedded files, calculates hashes, and provides a Hex preview. For supported Office, PDF, and image formats, it can also remove selected privacy metadata and save a clean copy.

Do I need to buy Pro separately on iPhone, iPad and Mac?

File Deep Info is a universal app. Buy Pro once and use it on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple Account. No subscription.

What can I do on iPhone and iPad?

Inspect actual file formats, hidden document content, metadata, hashes and Hex on your device. Explore nested attachments such as a ZIP inside a PDF. Pro unlocks extraction, batch export and privacy cleanup for supported Office, PDF and image files. Save or share a cleaned copy while keeping the original.

Which file formats support privacy cleanup?

Cleanup currently supports modern Office formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), Legacy Office formats (DOC, XLS, PPT), PDF, and common images such as JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, and HEIC. The app can inspect many additional formats. Available cleanup options appear after you open a file.

Will cleanup modify or damage my original file?

No. File Deep Info exports the cleaned result as a new copy to a location you choose. It does not overwrite the original during the cleanup workflow. You can compare or keep both files.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. File content and analysis results are processed locally on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows PC. The app does not upload the files you inspect to our servers.

What is the difference between metadata audit and cleanup?

Audit displays the metadata stored in a file. Cleanup removes selected supported fields and saves a new copy. Some formats can be inspected but do not offer cleanup options.

What hidden content can it find?

Depending on the format, it can flag concealed AI prompts, background-matching text, zero-size PDF text, hidden worksheets, rows, columns, slides, notes, comments, master content, hidden fonts, PDF layers, transparent text, fake-redaction clues, attachments, tail-appended data, merged-file traces, and steganography indicators.

How does true format detection work?

The app combines MIME information, Magic Numbers, and binary signatures rather than trusting the filename extension. This helps identify mismatched extensions, extensionless files, incorrect names, and the real types of embedded objects.

Which embedded objects can it extract?

File Deep Info can extract Office OLE objects, PDF attachments, iWork internal resources, files inside nested containers, and readable data appended after EOF. What can be extracted depends on what the source file contains.

What is included in Free and Pro?

Free includes file fingerprint analysis, true format recognition, metadata viewing, hidden content discovery, hashes, and Hex preview. Pro unlocks privacy cleanup export, recursive analysis on desktop, extraction and batch export of embedded files, and future Pro features. Pro is a one-time purchase; Windows may present a full-feature trial before purchase.

What are the system requirements?

File Deep Info supports iOS 17 or later, iPadOS 17 or later, macOS 11 or later, and Windows 10/11.
