How it works
Clean PDF metadata in three steps
Remove PDF properties
Clean supported fields such as author, creator, producer, title, subject, and timestamps.
Verify PDF result
Download the clean PDF and a report showing removed metadata plus any review signals.
PDF cleanup focus
Conservative PDF metadata handling
We clean supported PDF document properties while clearly separating signature and interactive-content concerns.
Document properties
We handle Creator, Producer, Author, Title, Subject, Creation date, Modification date, and XMP-style metadata where supported.
Signed PDFs
Digitally signed PDFs are refused by default because modifying a signed file can invalidate its signature.
Needs-attention signals
We report interactive or embedded PDF features with review guidance instead of hiding them from the result.
PDF privacy
We process PDF bytes locally in the browser. You do not need to upload the file for supported metadata cleanup.
Verified clean copy
We inspect the clean PDF again so you can see removed properties and remaining review signals.

PDF metadata remover questions
Focused on PDF document properties, clean copies, signatures, and review signals.
What PDF metadata can be removed?
Supported fields include Creator, Producer, Author, Title, Subject, Creation date, Modification date, and XMP-style metadata where detected.
Can I delete metadata from PDF files online?
Yes. We work as an online PDF metadata remover in your browser: you choose a PDF, clean supported metadata from the PDF locally, and download a separate clean copy.
Can I clean metadata from PDF files without uploading them?
Yes. Selected PDFs stay in this browser while we remove supported PDF metadata and verify the result.
Does this remove names or emails inside the PDF pages?
No. We remove supported PDF document metadata only. Visible names, emails, addresses, images, comments on the page, and redaction work need separate manual review.
Is XMP metadata removed from PDFs?
Yes, where detected and safely supported. We include XMP-style PDF metadata in the cleanup and then verify the clean copy.
Can I remove metadata from encrypted PDFs?
Password-protected or encrypted PDFs may need to be unlocked before browser cleanup can inspect and rewrite supported metadata safely.
Why are signed PDFs refused?
Cleaning a digitally signed PDF can invalidate the signature, so we refuse signed PDFs by default.
What does Needs attention mean for PDFs?
It means we found signals that may point to interactive or embedded features such as forms, annotations, scripts, or attachments. Review the clean copy before sharing sensitive files.
Can I process multiple PDFs at the same time?
Yes. Add multiple supported PDFs to the workspace, clean eligible files, and download clean copies or combined audit reports.
Does the original PDF get overwritten?
No. We create a separate clean PDF copy for download.
