Remove metadata from a PDF

A PDF often carries your name, your software, edit timestamps — even JavaScript or embedded files. Clean those traces before sharing the document: everything runs on your device.

FAQ

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Processing runs locally in your browser; nothing is transmitted.

Which metadata is removed?

Title, author, subject, keywords, software, creation and modification dates, plus the full XMP stream.

Are annotations removed?

Only if you tick the option — they often hold reviewer names. Form fields are kept.

  1. Drop your PDF
  2. Tick the elements to remove (metadata, JavaScript, attachments, annotations)
  3. Download the sanitized PDF
