PDF Metadata Cleaner
Clear standard document metadata from a PDF, like author and creation date.
See what standard metadata your PDF carries — Title, Author, Creator, and more — and clear it in your browser before sharing the file. Want to change the file itself first? Try PDF Compressor or PDF Page Editor.
Your PDF never leaves your device. Metadata is inspected and cleared entirely in your browser.
This removes the standard document metadata fields shown below (the PDF's Info dictionary) and any embedded XMP metadata packet — the metadata this library can reliably read and clear. It does not guarantee removal of every possible embedded object, attachment, annotation, hidden layer, or other application-specific data a PDF can contain.

FAQ
Common questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your PDF is inspected, cleaned, and re-checked entirely in your browser.
What metadata does this clear?
The standard PDF document properties: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, Creation Date, and Modification Date, plus an embedded XMP metadata packet if one is present.
Does this remove everything that could identify me in the PDF?
No. This clears the standard metadata fields listed above. It doesn't guarantee removal of embedded objects, attachments, annotations, hidden layers, or other application-specific data a PDF can contain.
How do I know the cleaning actually worked?
After cleaning, the tool reloads the generated PDF and shows you its actual resulting metadata, rather than just assuming the operation succeeded.
Can I clean a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Remove the password first, then add the file again.
