PDF Metadata Remover

Wipe author, title, producer, and other metadata from any PDF before sharing. Done locally — your file never leaves your browser.

Updated April 2026

What it does

Strip the author name, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and timestamp fields from any PDF — all in your browser, nothing uploaded. This is the field journalists, lawyers, and job seekers reach for: the visible text stays exactly as you wrote it, but the hidden fields that leak your username, corporate software suite, or original file path are wiped.

Caveat: this removes document-level metadata. It does not attempt to strip embedded image EXIF or signature traces — those require a re-render. For a before/after check, run the output through PDF Metadata Viewer.

How to use it

  1. Drop the PDF whose metadata you want wiped.
  2. Click Strip metadata — all author/title/creator fields are cleared.
  3. Download the cleaned file.
  4. Re-open it in PDF Metadata Viewer to verify the fields are blank.
