How to use pdf metadata viewer & remover

  1. Select a PDF. Document metadata is parsed and displayed locally.

  2. Review fields: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates.

  3. Export a cleaned copy written as a fresh document.

  4. The output is reopened and rescanned to confirm the fields are empty.

What this tool does

  • Reads the PDF Info dictionary (author, title, creator, producer, dates, keywords)
  • Clears all identity and history fields in a fresh-saved output
  • Removes the XMP metadata stream where present
  • Post-export rescan with before/after field counts

How the result is verified

The cleaned output is reopened and every Info-dictionary field is read back; verification passes only when all identity fields are absent or empty.

Frequently asked questions

What does PDF metadata leak?

Commonly the author's real name or username, the organisation, the software used (with version), and creation/modification timestamps. For sensitive documents this can reveal who wrote something and when.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is opened with your browser's File API and processed by code running in your tab. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel, and process a file — no request carries your file's bytes. See our How it works page for a step-by-step verification guide.
