About PDF Metadata Remover
Every PDF carries hidden document properties — author name, the software that created it, a title, keywords, even the original filename in some cases — that can reveal more than you intend when you share a file. This tool strips that metadata out completely.
Clears the author, title, subject, keywords, and producer/creator fields, leaving the document's actual content untouched. Everything runs locally in your browser using the pdf-lib library.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata does this remove?
The document properties embedded in the PDF file itself — author, title, subject, keywords, and the software used to create it. Separate from anything visible on the page.
Will this change my PDF's actual content?
No — only the hidden document properties are cleared. Every page, all text, and all formatting stay exactly the same.
Why would my resume or a shared document reveal my name through metadata?
Many word processors auto-fill the "Author" field with whoever's logged into that computer, and it carries through when exporting to PDF — which can reveal a name even after you've edited the visible content.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. Metadata is cleared entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library.
