Every PDF file contains hidden metadata — information about who created it, when, with what software, and more. When you share a PDF publicly, this metadata can expose personal information such as the author's name, their employer, the software they use, and timestamps that reveal when the document was created or last modified. This tool strips all of that information before you share, giving you a clean PDF with no hidden properties.
The document title as stored in PDF properties.
The name of the person or organisation who created the document.
A brief description or category of the document subject.
Tags or keywords embedded in the PDF for search purposes.
The application used to author the original content (e.g. Microsoft Word).
The application that converted or produced the PDF (e.g. Adobe PDF printer).
No. Only the document information dictionary (metadata fields) is cleared. The actual page content — text, images, fonts, layout, links, and annotations — is completely untouched.
This tool clears the standard PDF document information dictionary (DocInfo). Some PDFs also contain XMP metadata embedded in an XML stream. The tool clears the DocInfo fields; XMP streams may remain in some PDFs. For documents with strict privacy requirements, consider checking with a PDF inspection tool after cleaning.
Yes. PDFs can also contain embedded fonts, thumbnails, form data, revision history, and digital signatures. This tool targets the most commonly exposed metadata fields. For maximum privacy, always check the cleaned file with a PDF viewer before distributing.
The metadata is removed from the downloaded copy only — your original file on your device is unchanged. If you need to restore the metadata, open your original file and run the tool again to view what was there.
