Remove PDF Metadata
Strip Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and other PDF document info without uploading. Clean metadata privately in your browser.
Remove PDF metadata privately in your browser
Strip identifying document properties before sharing. Cleaning runs on your device with no upload.
What you can do with it
- Share a document anonymously
- Remove Author and Title so recipients do not see who created the file.
- Clean scanned reports
- Strip leftover Creator/Producer tags before archiving or publishing.
How to remove PDF metadata
- Open your PDF — it loads locally with no upload.
- Review the page count, then download the cleaned copy.
- Share the new file; your original stays unchanged.
Strip Author and Creator tags before sharing
PDF properties can reveal who created a file, which app produced it, and leftover titles. Cleaning metadata locally is useful before anonymous submissions, FOIA-style shares, or publishing scans where identifying tags are unwanted.
Metadata cleaning is not redaction
Removing document properties does not black out text on the page. For names or account numbers visible in the content, use redact. For layout white-out, use the crop editor. Use this tool specifically for Info dictionary fields.
