About this tool
Step 1
Drag your PDF onto the page, or click to browse. You can reorder or drop pages first if you like.
Step 2
Click Clean & Preview. The document's author, title, keywords, timestamps, and XMP metadata block are removed locally.
Step 3
Check the result in the preview, then download the cleaned PDF. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Cleaning metadata leaves the visible content alone. Redact it properly.
Private by construction
Uploading a file to strip your name from it defeats the point.
Most metadata removers upload your file to a server to process it — which means the very document you're trying to sanitise leaves your control. This tool never does: it rewrites the PDF locally in your browser and hands it straight back to you.
No file, page, or filename ever reaches a server. Check your network tab — it stays empty.
Turn off your Wi-Fi and it still works. That is the simplest proof there is no upload.
No account, no copy kept, no watermark. Close the tab and it is gone.
No. Metadata removal happens entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone.
It removes the document Info dictionary — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and the creation and modification dates — and the XMP metadata stream, which often holds a second copy of the same fields plus tool fingerprints.
No. The pages you see are unchanged. The file is rewritten to drop the hidden metadata, so the document structure is rebuilt, but the visible content stays the same.
No. This removes document metadata, not page content. To permanently remove visible or underlying text and images, use a redaction tool instead.
