Edit or Strip PDF Metadata

PDFs quietly carry the author's name, the software used, and creation dates — in two places, the info dictionary and an XMP stream. Edit them, or wipe both.

🔒 Your files never leave your device

There is no upload step to worry about, because there is no server. The file you choose is processed by your own browser, on your own device, and the result downloads straight from its memory. Once this page has loaded, the tool keeps working with the internet disconnected — try it in airplane mode. Unlike sites that promise to “delete your files after one hour”, there is nothing to delete: your file was never sent anywhere. See how to verify this yourself →

💡 Tips for the best result

“Strip everything” also removes the XMP metadata stream — the hiding place most cleaners forget.
The title shown in a browser tab when a PDF opens is the Title field — set it here.
Keywords are comma-separated; they matter for document-management systems and search.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does “strip everything” remove?

All document info fields (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer), both timestamps, and the embedded XMP metadata stream that most tools forget.

Does this remove metadata from images inside the PDF?

No — EXIF data inside embedded photos is untouched for now. It removes the document-level metadata, which is what reveals authorship.

Is the file uploaded to read its metadata?

No — a tool for removing identifying information would be a strange thing to upload files to. Everything runs in your browser.

Will editing metadata change how the PDF looks?

No — metadata lives alongside the pages, not in them. Content is untouched.
