Edit Metadata
Every PDF carries hidden document properties — title, author, subject, keywords. Read what's there and rewrite it (or wipe it clean) before you share. Handy for tidy file libraries and removing leftover personal info.

One PDF. We'll read its existing properties so you can edit them.
Every PDF carries a set of hidden document properties — title, author, subject, keywords, and the apps that created it. They show up in file managers, browser tabs, and search results, and they often hold leftover personal info from whoever made the file. This tool reads what's there and lets you rewrite it, tidy it, or wipe it clean before you share.
How to edit metadata
- 1
Load the PDF
Drop in a single PDF. The tool reads its existing metadata and fills each field with what's already stored inside.
- 2
Edit the fields
Change the title, author, subject, keywords, creator, or producer. Leave a field blank to clear it, or hit Clear all to strip everything at once.
- 3
Save a clean copy
Click Save and download a new copy of the PDF with your updated properties and a refreshed modification date.
Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — there’s no server to send it to, no sign-up, and nothing to delete afterward.
Frequently asked questions
- What is PDF metadata?
- It's a small set of document properties stored inside the file — title, author, subject, keywords, and the software that created and produced it. Viewers and operating systems read these to label and index the file.
- Can I remove personal information from a PDF?
- Yes. Clearing the author, creator, and producer fields removes the leftover identifiers many tools embed automatically. Use Clear all to blank every field in one click, then save.
- Does editing metadata change the actual pages?
- No. Only the document's properties are rewritten — the pages, text, and images are untouched.
- Why would I set a title and keywords?
- A proper title is what shows in the browser tab and file properties instead of a cryptic filename, and keywords help desktop search and document libraries surface the file. It's good hygiene for anything you publish or archive.
- Is the file uploaded to read its metadata?
- No. The PDF is read and rewritten entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
