Good to know

  • Removing metadata clears the document details. It does not change the pages, which can still show names and dates.
  • Saving new details replaces the XMP metadata with them; other XMP data, such as editing history, is not kept.

Why it's private

  • Processed in your browser

    The tool runs on your device. There is no upload step and no server that receives your files.

  • Works offline

    Wait for Offline ready before disconnecting. OCR and Office conversion also need their engines saved on this device.

  • No ads or trackers

    Tool pages load no ads, no analytics scripts and no third-party code.

Questions

What is PDF metadata?

Details stored inside the file: the title, the author's name, the apps that made it, and when it was created and last changed. Many apps show them, and anyone you send the file to can read them.

What does "Remove all" clear?

The title, author, subject and keywords, the names of the apps that made the file, the creation and change dates, and the XMP metadata of the document, its pages and its images.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Yes. Enter the file's password when asked; it is used on this device only. The new file is not password-protected.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser does the work on this device, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Nothing is sent to a server.
