What this tool does
Remove Metadata from PDF clears the hidden details a PDF carries: author, title, the creator and producer apps, and the created and modified timestamps. None of it shows on the page, but it rides along with the file, and this tool blanks it out so a shared PDF does not quietly reveal who made it or what software produced it.
How it works
Open your PDF and the tool reads it in your browser, blanks the document information and XMP metadata fields, and gives you a clean copy to download. The visible pages are left exactly as they are and your original file is untouched.
When to use Remove Metadata from PDF
Sharing a PDF without revealing your name or software
Sending a document outside your organization
Publishing a file that should not carry its origin
Clearing author and producer details before distribution
