View the metadata left inside a PDF and strip it out in one click. Separately from its visible content, a PDF can carry document information such as Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, the application that created it (Creator / Producer), the creation date and the modification date — and it may also contain XMP, a richer block of metadata that can include edit history and tool names. These fields routinely leak things you would rather not share: your computer's login name, your real name, the internal software you use, or the original file's title. PDFs exported from Word or PowerPoint, documents built from a company template, or files you forward on can all quietly tell the recipient who made the document, when, and with what. Drop a PDF in and this tool shows every entry in the Info dictionary plus whether XMP metadata is present; press "Download PDF without metadata" and it writes out a new PDF with all Info-dictionary keys and the XMP metadata removed. It re-checks the cleaned copy on the spot and confirms that no metadata remains. The page content — text, images and layout — is left untouched. Everything happens entirely inside your browser: the PDF is never uploaded, stored, or sent to any server. Think of it as the PDF counterpart to an EXIF remover for photos — a quick privacy check before you hand a document out.

How to use

  1. Drop a PDF in, or click to choose one.
  2. Review the embedded metadata — author, title, producer (the app that made it), creation/modification dates and more.
  3. If XMP metadata is present, it is flagged too.
  4. Click "Download PDF without metadata" to save a copy with everything stripped (it confirms nothing remains).

FAQ

What metadata does a PDF contain?

Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, the app that created it (Creator / Producer), the creation date and the modification date. It may also carry XMP — a richer metadata block that can include edit history and tool names. The Author field often holds your computer's user name or your real name, which is exactly what you want to check before sharing.

Does it change the page content?

No. It only removes the document information (Info dictionary) and the XMP metadata. The text, images and layout are left untouched, so the PDF looks exactly the same.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Both reading and removing happen entirely in your browser. The PDF is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere — it stays on your device.

Can I confirm the metadata is really gone?

Yes. After removal the cleaned PDF is re-parsed on the spot and the tool confirms no metadata remains. You can also feed the downloaded file back into this tool to double-check.

Does it work on encrypted or password-protected PDFs?

For view-level encryption it reads what it can and attempts removal. A PDF that needs a password just to open should be unlocked first, then run through this tool.

Can it also remove photo location data (EXIF)?

This tool is for PDFs only. To strip EXIF or GPS from a photo (JPEG/PNG) use an EXIF remover, or use an EXIF viewer if you only want to inspect it.
