About removing PDF metadata
PDFs carry hidden document-information metadata — the author's name, a title, keywords, the creating software and edit dates. This data travels with the file and is easy to inspect, so a document you share can reveal more than the visible pages do.
Removing the metadata clears those fields so the file no longer exposes who made it or how. Pair it with Remove EXIF for images to scrub personal details from what you share. Everything happens in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded — and the fields are saved as genuinely empty, not replaced with our own.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this remove?
It clears the standard document-information fields: title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer. The page first shows you which of these your PDF currently contains.
Why remove PDF metadata?
These fields can quietly reveal your name, your organisation, the software you used and when the file was edited. Stripping them protects your privacy before you share or publish a document.
Does it change the visible pages?
No — only the hidden document-information fields are cleared. The page content stays exactly as it was.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The metadata is stripped entirely in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
