How to remove PDF metadata

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop or select the PDF you want to clean. Nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    See what it carries

    The tool lists the metadata it found, author, dates, producer, plus any scripts or embedded files.

  3. 3

    Remove and download

    Strip it all and download the cleaned PDF, built on your device.

Why clean PDF metadata in your browser?

Metadata is exactly the kind of thing you do not want to hand to an online server to remove, it is the private part. Cleaning it locally means the document, and everything hidden in it, stays on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What gets removed?+

The document information (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates), the XMP metadata stream, and catalog entries that carry JavaScript, embedded files and auto-run actions.

Is my file uploaded?+

No. Everything happens in your browser, so the PDF and its metadata never leave your device.

Why remove metadata?+

PDFs often embed your name, software, and timestamps. Stripping them before sharing avoids leaking information you did not intend to send.

Does it change the visible content?+

No. Only metadata and hidden data are removed; the pages themselves are untouched.

Does it work offline?+

Yes. After the first visit the tool keeps working with no connection, because all processing is local.
