Frequently Asked Questions
How do I edit PDF metadata online for free?
Upload your PDF and all existing metadata fields — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer — are loaded automatically. Click any field to edit it, type your new value, then click Save PDF to download the updated document. No signup required and your PDF never leaves your browser.
What PDF metadata fields can I view and edit?
You can view and edit the standard PDF document properties: title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, and producer. These fields appear in PDF readers under Document Properties. Editing these fields does not modify page content, images, or formatting in any way.
How do I remove all metadata from a PDF to protect privacy?
Clear every field in the metadata editor — leave all inputs blank — then click Save PDF. The downloaded file will have no document properties embedded. This removes author name, creation software, keywords, and any other metadata that could identify you or your organisation.
Is it safe to upload confidential PDFs to edit their metadata?
Your PDF is not uploaded anywhere. All metadata reading and editing runs entirely in your browser. The file stays on your device throughout the process. The edited PDF is generated locally and downloaded directly — no server ever sees your document.
Does editing PDF metadata affect the page content or file size?
No. Metadata changes only modify the document properties stored in the PDF header. Page text, images, fonts, and formatting are completely untouched. File size changes are negligible — typically a few hundred bytes — as metadata is a very small portion of any PDF file.
