Remove PDF Metadata Before Sharing
Every PDF carries hidden fingerprints: the author's name, the software used to create it, creation and modification dates, and sometimes even editing history. Remove all of it before sharing — no upload needed.
Your files are never sent to our serversHow it works
Our PDF Metadata Remover parses the PDF structure, identifies all metadata fields (author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, modification date), and strips them while preserving the visible document content. All processing happens locally.
Step-by-step
- Click the button below to open the PDF Metadata Remover
- Upload your PDF file (up to 100MB)
- The tool scans and displays all detected metadata
- Review what will be removed (author, dates, software info)
- Click 'Remove Metadata' to clean the PDF
- Download your sanitized PDF — no hidden data remains
Supported formats
Works with all standard PDF files including PDF/A, PDF/X, and encrypted PDFs (password required). Output is a fully compatible PDF that opens in any reader.
Is it safe?
Completely safe. Only metadata is removed — the visible text, images, formatting, and layout remain exactly the same. No content is altered, deleted, or modified.

Will this break my PDF?
No. The PDF structure and all visible content remain intact. Only the hidden properties are removed.
