How to edit or remove metadata

Three steps: upload, edit or clean, download

1

Upload your PDF

Drag & drop or choose a file. Processing is local, no server uploads.

Multi-page files, scans, and password-protected PDFs are supported if you know the password.
2

Review fields or choose a cleaning mode

Inspect detected fields and edit what you need. Or enable “Light clean” to clear Info/XMP/JS/EmbeddedFiles/Annots, or “Heavy” to also remove bookmarks and forms.

Heavy mode increases privacy but may remove interactivity (links, forms, bookmarks).
3

Download the updated PDF

Get a file with edited or cleaned metadata and a short report of removed items.

Any digital signatures will become invalid after changes. This is expected.
Privacy and limits
All operations run in your browser. The tool removes service data, not visible page content — review the document if you need to redact personal data from the content itself.
