Edit PDF Metadata Online

Change hidden document properties like Author and Title, or wipe them clean for privacy.

Take Control of Hidden Data

Every PDF file carries hidden information in its code called metadata. This data often includes the name of the software used to create it, the date it was created, and sometimes even the personal name of the author. If you are submitting an anonymous essay, publishing a public report, or sending a document to a client, you might want to edit PDF metadata to ensure it looks professional and doesn't leak personal information.

Our tool allows you to read, modify, or completely wipe these hidden fields. You can change PDF properties to add relevant keywords for better search engine indexing, or update the 'Title' field so it displays nicely in web browsers instead of showing a messy internal filename like "Doc1_final_v2.docx".

Because you are dealing with potentially sensitive hidden data, you shouldn't upload it to a random server just to clean it. Our metadata editor runs exclusively in your web browser. It accesses the internal structure of the PDF locally, rewrites the tags, and saves it directly to your hard drive without any data ever leaving your device.

How to Update Properties

  1. Load File: Drag the document into the editor.
  2. Review Data: The tool will instantly display the current hidden Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords.
  3. Modify: Type new values into the fields, or delete the text entirely to wipe them blank.
  4. Save: Click the update button to rewrite the internal tags and download the clean file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I care about metadata?

Many people don't realize that Word or Excel automatically embeds their Windows username into the 'Author' tag when they export a PDF. If you are sharing a file publicly, wiping this data is a crucial step to protect your privacy.

Does changing metadata affect the actual pages?

No. Metadata is completely invisible when you print or read the document normally. Editing it only changes the background information read by search engines and document management systems.
