PDF Metadata Remover
Clear the hidden document details a PDF carries around with it — title, author, subject, keywords, and the names of the software that produced it. These fields are invisible while you read but plainly listed in any file's properties, and they often reveal a personal name, a company or an internal filename you never intended to send.

When you'd use this
- Sending a CV — A resume exported from Word usually carries your computer account name as the author.
- Publishing a document — Anything posted online where the original author's details should not travel with it.
- Client deliverables — Removing an internal filename or template name from work you are handing over.
- Forwarding someone else's file — Stripping identifying details from a document before passing it along.
Good to know
- Six fields are cleared — Title, author, subject, keywords, producer and creator are all emptied.
- Timestamps can remain — Creation and modification dates are a required part of the PDF format, so they may still be present. This tool does not pretend otherwise.
- Visible content is untouched — Only the hidden property fields change — every page looks exactly as it did before.
- Verify it afterwards — Open the new file's document properties in your PDF reader and confirm the fields are empty.
Frequently asked questions
Does this remove everything hidden in the file?
It clears the standard document-info fields (title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creator). Creation and modification timestamps are a required part of the PDF format and may still be present.
Will this change how the PDF looks?
No — only the hidden document details are changed. The visible content is untouched.
How do I see what metadata my PDF contains?
Open it in almost any PDF reader and look for Document Properties or File Info. Title, author and producer are listed there.
Does this remove hidden text inside the pages?
No. It clears the document's property fields only. Anything on a page — including text sitting underneath a box drawn over it — is still in the file.
Is my file uploaded anywhere to do this?
No. The PDF is opened, edited and saved entirely inside your browser, which is exactly what you would want from a tool whose whole purpose is removing identifying details.
