Questions
Which files does it work with?
Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, PDFs, images, and common video and audio formats. Older .doc, .xls and .ppt files aren’t supported. All formats
How close are the PDFs to Microsoft Office?
Close, but not always identical. Text, tables, pictures and charts are kept; spacing, fonts your Mac doesn’t have and complex layouts can come out differently. Known differences
Can it remove a file’s metadata?
Yes. Remove Metadata saves a clean copy without location, dates, camera details, names and Get Info’s “Where from”, such as chatgpt.com or claude.ai on a file downloaded from an AI assistant. Everything goes unless you choose otherwise in Settings. Remove Metadata
Can I process several files at once?
Yes. Select them and choose the action once. Each file is handled on its own, so one problem file doesn’t stop the rest.
How do I set it up?
Open FileMate, paste your licence, allow access to your files and turn on its Finder extension in System Settings. Setup takes you through it, once. Steps
