Remove metadata from a PDF — author, title, dates, producing software and the XMP stream — free, in your browser. No upload; your file never leaves your device.

What gets removed — and where it happens
All of this happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded — unlike many PDF metadata removers, which send your file to their servers.
This removes document metadata, not page content: text and images on the pages — including any names or details inside them — are left exactly as they are. It is not content anonymization.
No. The metadata is removed entirely in your browser using pdf-lib in a Web Worker. Your file never leaves your device — unlike many PDF metadata removers, which upload your file to their servers.
We remove the document's metadata: the Document Info dictionary (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producing software, and the creation and modification dates) and the XMP metadata stream. We do NOT touch the text or images on the pages. This removes the document properties that say who made the file, with what, and when — it is not content anonymization, so any names, faces or details inside the page content remain as they are.
No. We rewrite the file without re-stamping metadata, so the producer and creator fields are emptied rather than replaced — the original producing software is gone and no new tool name is added.
No. Encrypted, password-protected PDFs aren't supported — we can't read their metadata without the password. Unlock the PDF first, then remove its metadata here. We tell you rather than hand back a file we didn't actually clean.
