Overview

About Remove metadata

PDFs carry a hidden layer most people never see: the title, author, producer, and the name of the app that created the file. Reach for this when you are sending a document to someone outside your circle and would rather not hand over who or what made it. It clears those metadata fields and gives you back a cleaned PDF, all in your browser, so the original never leaves your device. The pages themselves are untouched, so anything actually printed on them, including a name in the body text, stays exactly as it was.

Questions

Frequently asked

What exactly gets removed?
It strips the document metadata fields such as title, author, subject, producer, and the creating application or tool. These are the hidden entries that quietly travel with the file and reveal who or what made it.
Does it change how the document looks?
No. It only clears the metadata, so the visible page content stays exactly as it was. Text printed on the page, including a name written into the body, is not touched.
Does it remove text or images from inside the pages?
No. It targets the document's metadata, not the page content, so visible names, words, and images remain. If sensitive information is printed on a page, you will need a tool that edits or redacts that content instead.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and your file never leaves your device. Open the Network tab and watch as it works; you will see no file-upload request.
