View and remove PDF metadata

How it works

  1. Choose a PDF file – the current metadata is shown immediately.
  2. Choose “Remove all metadata” or edit individual fields.
  3. Click “Save PDF” and download the new file.

Notes and limitations

  • “Remove all” clears the document information, the XMP metadata and editing data some programs store (PieceInfo).
  • Personal data can also be hidden in the content itself, in comments or in attachments – this tool does not change the content.
  • The modification date is set to the current time when editing.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my name in the PDF?

Many programs store the user name of the computer as “Author”. Remove it here before publishing the file.
