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.

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.

Frequently asked

For most purposes, yes — Strip mode removes the standard metadata fields. But other identifiers can leak via fonts (custom fonts can be traced), embedded images (EXIF data), or even subtle PDF-encoder fingerprints. For maximum anonymity, also re-flatten via Print-to-PDF.
