PDF Metadata Remover

Remove identifying metadata from your PDF

Clean common document properties such as title, author and keywords before sharing a PDF. All processing happens in your browser; the file is not uploaded anywhere.

Choose the PDF you want to clean. For large files, the download may take a few seconds.

Fields that will be cleared

  • Title
  • Author
  • Subject
  • Keywords
  • Creator
  • Producer
  • Language (if supported)

This tool edits the PDF’s embedded metadata using pdf-lib and gives you a cleaned copy.

  • No data leave your browser.
  • Only the standard metadata fields listed above are cleared.
  • The visible content of the PDF is not changed.

How to use this page

  1. Click “Select PDF file” and choose a PDF from your device.
  2. Review any metadata detected for that file.
  3. Select Clean metadata and download.
  4. Open the cleaned file in your PDF reader and check document properties to confirm the fields are blank.

You should still skim the PDF to make sure names, email addresses or other identifiers do not appear in the visible text or images.
