Why Remove PDF Metadata?

Privacy Protection

PDF metadata can reveal personal information like your name, organization, software used, and document creation/modification dates. Removing metadata protects your privacy when sharing documents.

What Gets Removed

  • • Document title and subject
  • • Author and creator information
  • • Software/producer information
  • • Creation and modification timestamps
  • • Keywords and custom properties

What Stays Intact

The actual content of your PDF (text, images, formatting, layout) remains completely unchanged. Only the metadata is removed.

Features:

  • • View all existing metadata before removal
  • • Remove author, title, and creator information
  • • Clean timestamps and software details
  • • Preserve document content and formatting
  • • All processing done locally - your files never leave your device
  • • Safe and non-destructive - original file unchanged

Important: While metadata is removed, this tool does not sanitize or redact the actual content within the PDF. To remove sensitive information from the document content itself, use the PDF Redaction tool.
