Why does PDF metadata matter?

PDFs carry hidden info — your name as the author, the original filename, the application that created it, sometimes timestamps. This can leak personal data when you share files publicly. Editing or stripping metadata fixes that.

What metadata can I edit?

Title, author, subject, keywords, and the producer/creator strings. We auto-fill the current values from your PDF so you can edit in place.

How do I strip all metadata?

Click the Strip all button. Every metadata field is set to empty in the output PDF.

Will editing metadata change the PDF content?

No. Only the metadata in the document info dictionary is changed. The pages, text, images, and structure are untouched.

Yes. The PDF is read and rewritten in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

Does this remove EXIF data from embedded images?

We strip the document-level metadata. EXIF inside embedded JPEGs is a separate layer — for full sanitization, run Compress PDF afterwards (which re-encodes images and drops EXIF).
