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

  1. Open your PDF — it loads locally with no upload.
  2. Review the page count, then download the cleaned copy.
  3. 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.
