Tips

  • Before sharing externally: Use Strip All Metadata to remove author names and system paths that may be embedded in the file.
  • Descriptive titles help: A clear title and subject make a document easier for you and others to identify later.
  • Private by design: Every edit happens locally in your browser - files are never uploaded anywhere.

What's Actually Hiding Inside a PDF's Metadata

Every PDF carries a small set of details you don't see on the page itself - title, author, subject, keywords, and a record of which software created it. This information travels with the file wherever it goes, and it's easy to forget it's there until it says something you didn't intend to share, like an old author name or an internal project code.

Why It's Worth Cleaning Up Before You Share a File

Two separate things are affected by this data: how the file is organized, and what it reveals. A clear, accurate title and a few relevant keywords can make a document easier to find and identify later in your own files. On the flip side, if you're sending a file outside your organization, stripping old metadata prevents it from carrying details about who created it or what internal system it came from.

Using the Editor

The whole process happens locally, right in this page:

  1. Add your file: Drag a PDF into the drop zone, or click it to browse your device.
  2. Edit the fields: Update the title, author, or subject, or add a custom field if you need one.
  3. Save or wipe: Either write your new values into the file, or strip all existing metadata in one click.
  4. Download: Save the updated file directly, or grab a batch of processed files together as a ZIP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything is processed locally using JavaScript running in your browser. Files are never sent to a server.

Does Strip All Metadata remove the title and author too?

Yes - it clears the entire Info dictionary, including title, author, subject, keywords, and any custom fields you added.

Can I edit multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Load several files, then use Batch Operations to apply the same metadata to all of them or download them together as a ZIP.

Can I back up my metadata before changing it?

Yes - use Export Metadata as JSON to save a copy, and Import Metadata from JSON later to restore it.
