PDF Metadata Remover
Remove author, creator, and hidden metadata from PDF files before sharing documents.
What PDF metadata can reveal
PDF metadata may include the document title, author name, creation date, software used, modification history, and sometimes organization-specific fields. Removing metadata is useful before sharing drafts, public downloads, client documents, or files created on a personal device. It does not remove visible text, comments burned into pages, hidden text layers, or information shown in the document itself.
After cleaning a PDF, open the exported copy and inspect document properties in your PDF viewer. If the file contains scanned pages, also check the visible image content. For related document preparation, use the PDF Compressor before uploading large files and the PDF to JPG tool when you need page previews.
