Preserve the original and inspect the cleaned output separately.
Verify:
- The file opens normally.
- Orientation and dimensions are correct.
- Color and visual quality are acceptable.
- The output path is the intended sharing location.
- Sensitive location, device, or descriptive fields are absent.
- Copyright or authorship fields you intended to keep remain.
Reopen the output in diCleaner or another trusted metadata inspector.
Remember that file names, visible content, messages, and upload services can still reveal information after embedded metadata is removed.
