Remove Metadata from PDF
Blank the author, creator software, dates and hidden XMP packet from any PDF before you send it — locally, with no upload and no watermark.
Sending a PDF often means sending your name, your employer’s licence, your software stack and your document’s revision timeline. This PDF metadata remover blanks the entire document-info dictionary (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, dates) and deletes the embedded XMP metadata stream.
Lawyers scrub filings, freelancers scrub invoices, researchers scrub review copies. The page content — text, images, signatures — is untouched; only the metadata is wiped. And because the whole operation runs in your browser, confidential documents stay confidential: there is no server on the other end.
Drop a PDF, check what’s inside, click Remove metadata & download, and a clean copy is saved with -clean.pdf appended to the name.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove metadata from a PDF?
Drop the PDF into the tool, review the metadata table, then click “Remove metadata & download”. The author, creator, producer, dates and XMP packet are wiped and a clean copy downloads.
Does it change the content of my PDF?
No — pages, text, images and form fields are preserved exactly. Only the metadata dictionary and XMP stream are cleared.
Does it work on password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted PDFs that require a password to open cannot be cleaned. PDFs with only owner restrictions (printing/copying locks) usually work.
Is this PDF metadata remover really free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, no file-size games, no watermark. It runs on your own CPU, so there is nothing for us to meter.
