Remove a PDF's metadata (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates) before sharing it, directly in your browser.

Generates a new PDF without any of the document metadata exposed by the library used (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates). It does not remove any other internal trace of the file (e.g. incremental-update revision history), only this document metadata.

Use cases

  • Remove your name or your company's before sharing a PDF publicly.
  • Clean up a PDF generated by an editor that adds metadata automatically.
  • Prepare a document for publishing without revealing who created it or when.

Frequently asked questions

Does it remove every hidden trace from the file?

No, it removes the document metadata supported by the library (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates), it's not a forensic cleanup of every internal trace in the PDF.

Does it change the PDF's visible content?

No, the pages and their content stay exactly the same, only the document metadata is removed.
