How does the PDF Metadata Editor work?
Every PDF carries embedded metadata — title, author, creator software, subject, keywords. This metadata persists when you share the file and is visible to anyone who opens it (File → Properties in any PDF reader). It's useful for organising your own files, but a privacy concern when sharing externally — many "anonymous" leaked PDFs were traced back via metadata. This tool does two things: (1) Edit — update any of the four user-editable fields (leave blank to keep existing); (2) Strip — remove ALL metadata for maximum privacy before sharing. Note that creator/producer software is auto-set by whatever app created or modified the PDF — strip mode clears these too.
🔒 Security & Privacy
All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.
📱 Use it on any device
Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.
⚡ Quick & easy
Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.
🎁 Always free, no signup
Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.
