Remove Metadata
Strip author names, creation dates, editing software, and all other embedded metadata from a PDF before you share it — processed locally in your browser.
Files are processed locally in your browser — no upload is required for this tool.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata is removed?
All standard XMP and DocInfo fields are cleared: author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, modification date, and custom properties.
Does removing metadata change the visible content?
No. The pages, text, and images are unchanged. Only the embedded data fields are stripped.
Does this also remove revision history?
Standard revision history stored in metadata is removed. If the PDF contains embedded revision streams (uncommon), those are also addressed. Check the output with Metadata Audit afterward.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The operation runs entirely locally in your browser.
Is it safe? Are my files uploaded?
These tools run locally in your browser — for supported local operations your files are not uploaded to a server. Processing the document on your own device avoids sending it to a third party.
