How to Edit or Remove PDF Metadata

Five steps, and the file never leaves your computer.

Step 1

Drop your PDF onto the box above. It is opened by your own browser, and everything already stored in the file appears in the boxes below it.

Step 2

Edit any field you like. Title, author, subject, keywords, the creating program and the producer are all yours to change.

Step 3

Set or clear the dates. Leave a date box empty and that date is removed from the file entirely.

Step 4

To strip everything at once, press Clear every field. Nothing is written yet, so you can put the original values back if you change your mind.

Step 5

Press Save and download the new PDF. The pages are untouched, and the original file on your computer is not modified.

What It Does, and What It Cannot Do

Metadata is the part of a file people forget they are sending. These four points are the ones that matter.

Metadata travels with the file, and people forget it is there. A PDF quietly carries a title, an author, the program that made it and two timestamps. The author is very often a computer login name, and the creator is very often the name of software a client was not meant to know about.

Clearing a field empties it, it does not delete the slot. The document information block stays in the file with nothing in it. Every reader treats an empty field exactly as it treats a missing one, so this is the normal way to strip metadata, and it is what "remove" means in every tool that offers it.

This page does not touch XMP. Many files carry the same information a second time, in an XMP packet, and some programs read that copy instead. This tool clears the document information block, which is what almost every reader shows. If you need a guaranteed wipe for a legal disclosure, re-export the file from the program that made it.

The pages themselves are not changed. Only the details are rewritten, so text stays selectable, signatures on the page stay where they are and the file size barely moves. A real digital signature covering the whole document is a different matter: changing anything breaks it, which is how signatures are meant to behave.

Key Features & Capabilities

Designed for speed, privacy, and precision.

Never uploaded

The file is opened, edited and saved by your own browser. Nothing reaches a server, which matters more here than usual because metadata is exactly the part people want kept private.

All six fields

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer, each shown with what the file already holds so you can see what you are about to send.

One press to strip it all

Clear every field at once, including the producer line that most tools quietly leave behind with their own name in it.

Dates you control

Set the created and modified timestamps, or empty them. An empty date is valid and opens everywhere.

Nothing is committed early

Editing the boxes changes nothing on disk. The file is written only when you press Save, and the original stays exactly as it was.

Pages left alone

Only the document details are rewritten. Text stays selectable, images keep their quality and the file size hardly moves.

About the PDF Metadata Editor

Every PDF carries a small block of details that nobody types on purpose: a title, an author, the program that made it, the library that wrote it, and two timestamps. This page shows you all of it, lets you change any of it, and empties the lot in one press if that is what you came for.

The reason this matters is that the author field is usually a computer login name and the creator field is usually the name of a piece of software. Send a quotation to a client and the file may quietly tell them the name on your laptop account, the template it came from and the exact minute you wrote it. None of that is visible on the page, and all of it is visible in a reader in two clicks.

Clearing a field empties it rather than deleting the slot it lives in, which is what removing metadata means in every tool that offers it. Readers treat an empty field and a missing field identically. One honest limitation is stated on this page rather than hidden: many files carry a second copy of the same information in an XMP packet, and this tool does not rewrite that copy.

The pages themselves are never touched. Only the details block is rewritten, so text stays selectable, images keep their quality and the file size barely moves. Everything happens inside your browser, which is the part that matters most for a tool whose whole purpose is to keep private things private.

Frequently Asked Questions

Titles, authors, hidden software names and how to wipe them.

Drop the file in, press Clear every field, then press Save. The title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer are all emptied and you get a new PDF to download. The original file on your computer is not touched, so you keep both versions until you decide.

Six text fields and two dates: title, author, subject, keywords, the program the document was created in, the library that produced the PDF, and the created and modified timestamps. The author is usually a computer account name and the creator is usually the name of the software, which together say more about you than most people expect.

It empties them, which is what every PDF tool means by removing metadata. The information block stays in the file with nothing in it, and readers show an empty field exactly as they show a missing one. The old values are not left hidden somewhere else in the file by this tool.

Many PDFs carry the same details a second time in an XMP packet, and this tool does not touch that copy. For everyday privacy, clearing the document information block is what matters, because that is what readers and file managers display. For a legal disclosure where a guarantee is needed, re-export the document from the program that created it.

The pages are not touched, so text, images and layout come through exactly as they were. One thing does break, and it is meant to: a digital signature that covers the whole document. A signature certifies one exact file, so any change at all invalidates it. Sign after editing rather than before.

Yes, both dates are editable, and leaving either box empty removes that date from the file. Be aware that dates inside a PDF are a statement rather than proof: they are stored as plain text and anyone can set them, which is exactly what this page is doing.

No. It is read, edited and written by your own browser, which you can confirm by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool anyway. There is nothing stored on our side because nothing reaches our side.
