How to remove metadata from a PDF

A PDF can carry its title, author, subject, keywords, the program that made it and its dates. This removes all of that and leaves the pages exactly as they were.

  1. Drop the PDF you want to clean.

  2. Click Remove metadata.

  3. Download the PDF without its document information.

Questions about Remove metadata

Does removing metadata with fileclay upload my document?

No. Your browser removes the metadata on your device, so those details never reach anyone else, us included.

What exactly is removed?

The document information (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates) and the XMP metadata block. The pages, their text and their images aren’t touched.

Does it also clean the photos inside the PDF?

No. Data stored inside an embedded image, such as the EXIF of a photo, stays in that image. This tool only removes what the PDF says about itself.
