Every PDF carries metadata that most people never see: who authored it, which program made it, the exact dates it was created and last changed, and keywords. Before sharing a document publicly you often want that gone. This tool clears the whole info dictionary and removes the XMP metadata block, keeping your pages exactly as they are.
How it works
- Drop in the PDF you want to clean.
- Leave “also remove XMP” on for a thorough clean.
- Click Remove metadata.
- Download the cleaned PDF.
Example uses
- Publishing a report without revealing the author’s name or your software.
- Sending a CV or offer without the internal file history.
- Removing camera or scanner details before uploading a document.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is removed?
Title, author, subject, keywords, the creator and producer applications, and the creation and modification dates — plus the XMP metadata stream. The visible page content is untouched.
Does this change how the document looks?
No. Only the hidden metadata is cleared; every page renders exactly as before.
Can I set my own values instead of clearing them?
Yes — use Edit PDF metadata to write a specific title, author, subject and keywords.
Your files stay on your device
This tool runs entirely in your browser. After the page has loaded, nothing about your document is sent to a server — no upload, no account, no watermark.
