Yes. Remove Hidden Data is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Remove Hidden Data upload your file to a server?
No. Remove Hidden Data processes your file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.

The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Remove Hidden Data.
Do I need to install anything to use Remove Hidden Data?
No installation is needed. Remove Hidden Data runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Remove Hidden Data on a phone or tablet?
