Welcome! This is the new home for news and notes from cleanthis.io — the free tool that cleans files of hidden threats and metadata, checks webpages before you trust them, and now rides along in your browser as an extension.
What this blog is for
A few kinds of posts will show up here:
- Product news — new features, new supported file types, and improvements worth knowing about, explained in plain language.
- Plain-English security notes — what actually hides inside everyday files, how scam pages give themselves away, and simple habits that keep you out of trouble. No jargon, no fearmongering.
- Behind the scenes — the occasional look at how we build and test things, when there's a story worth telling.
The same rules as the site
cleanthis.io runs with no tracking, no ads, and no sign-up required — and this blog follows the same rules. There are no analytics scripts here, no cookies, nothing watching you read. If you want to follow along, the RSS feed is the way; your feed reader checks us, we never check you.
That's it for the introduction. If you haven't tried the tools yet, clean a file or check a link — both free, both instant. See you in the next post.
