View and remove PDF metadata

PDFs quietly carry hidden data: your name, the software you used, and when the file was created. See exactly what's in yours and download a clean copy with it removed.

The tool shows the metadata it found, then gives you a stripped copy — all in your browser, so nothing sensitive is ever uploaded. A good final step before sharing a document.

How it works

  1. Add your PDF. Drop it in or click to choose it.
  2. Review the metadata. See the title, author, producer software and dates stored in the file.
  3. Download the clean copy. Save a version with that metadata removed.

Frequently asked questions

What metadata does a PDF contain?

Commonly the title, author, subject, keywords, the creating and producing software, and creation/modification dates.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Metadata is read and stripped in your browser; the file is never uploaded.

Why remove metadata before sharing?

It can reveal your name, organisation or software. Removing it protects your privacy when a document goes to others.
