Clean Up Hidden Data

Remove your name, your company's software details, or any other private info that's baked into the file before you share it with others.

Add Professional Details

Set a proper title, author, subject, and keywords. Makes your documents easier to find, file, and look polished when someone checks the properties.

Frequently asked questions

What is PDF metadata?

Metadata is hidden information stored inside every PDF file — things like who wrote it, what software created it, a title, a subject, and keywords. You can't see it by just reading the document, but anyone can view it by checking the file properties (right-click → Properties, or File → Document Properties in a PDF viewer).

Why would I want to edit it?

Common reasons: removing your personal name before sharing a document publicly, adding a professional title for organizational filing, cleaning up the "Creator" field (removing "Microsoft Word" or "Adobe InDesign"), or adding keywords so the document is easier to search for later.

Does editing metadata change the document content?

No. Metadata is separate from the visible pages. Editing it doesn't change anything you can see in the document — it only changes the hidden file properties.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The editing happens entirely in your browser. Your document never leaves your computer.

Is it free?

Completely free — no account, no watermarks, no limits.
