View and edit PDF metadata

View and edit PDF title, author and other document metadata. Clear supported fields and check the downloaded copy before sharing.

See the hidden document details stored inside a PDF — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and dates — then edit individual fields or clear all of them before sharing the file.

Why metadata matters

Every PDF carries hidden document properties: title, author, subject, keywords, the program that created it and dates. They show up in search results, in the reader's title bar and in "file info" dialogs, and they often contain a name or company you did not mean to share.

This tool shows the current values and lets you change or clear each field, or wipe them all before publishing a document.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload the PDF you want to inspect.
  2. Review the current metadata, edit individual fields, or choose to clear everything.
  3. Download the PDF with its updated (or cleared) metadata.

Frequently asked questions

Does clearing metadata remove content from the pages?

No — this only affects the document-info fields (title, author, etc.), not the visible page content.

Why would I want to clear this?

PDF metadata can reveal the author’s real name, the software used, or internal document history you may not want to share externally.

Tips

  • Set a clear Title before putting a PDF on a website. Search engines often use it as the result heading.
