Clean PDF Before Sending by Email

PDFs carry hidden metadata: author name, software used, creation date. Clean them before you hit send.

Your files are never sent to our servers

What metadata is hidden in PDFs?

When you create a PDF, it stores your name, the software version, and sometimes even editing history. Our tool strips all of it before you share the file.

Why clean it before emailing

A resume built from a template still carrying someone else's name in the metadata, a proposal revealing internal author details, or a contract exposing which software and version drafted it — email is often the first place these small details slip out to someone outside your organization.

FAQ

Does cleaning affect how the PDF looks or prints?
No. Only metadata is removed — the visible content, layout, and formatting stay exactly the same.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

What metadata specifically gets removed?
Author name, software and version used, creation and modification dates, and any custom properties added by the PDF creator.
