About this tool

Remove PDF document metadata

PDF properties can include an author, title, subject, keywords, producer and creation dates. This tool removes the document Info dictionary and metadata streams.

Supported cleanup and limits

Comments, attachments, forms, visible text and metadata inside embedded images are retained. Signed PDFs and encrypted PDFs are rejected. This is metadata cleanup, not redaction; inspect sensitive documents with an appropriate document inspection tool too.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Supported files are inspected and cleaned inside this browser tab. Processing libraries are bundled with the site. The interface font is loaded from Google Fonts.

Does a clean report mean my file is anonymous?

No. A clean report means no metadata within the supported cleanup scope was detected after processing. Unknown tags, filenames and visible contents may still identify you.

How many files can I clean?

Up to 10 files per batch, 50 MB per file and 100 MB per batch. Download files separately or together as a ZIP.
