PDF Metadata Editor — Title, Author, Keywords & Strip guide

View and edit the metadata inside a PDF — title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer — then download an updated copy, or strip every field for a clean, anonymous file.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose or drop your PDF. The fields fill in with whatever metadata the file already carries, along with its creation and modification dates.
  2. Edit any field: the title is what PDF readers and search engines display, the author names the document’s creator, and keywords are a comma-separated list.
  3. Click Save metadata & download — or use Strip all metadata to clear every field (including any embedded XMP metadata block) in one click.

A worked example

A consultant sends a proposal exported as “final_v7_REAL.docx.pdf” whose stored title is still “Untitled document”. Thirty seconds in this editor gives it the proper title, her name as author and the client as subject — and the client’s PDF reader and their document system both show the right name from then on.

How it works

Metadata lives in the PDF’s information dictionary, separate from the pages. The editor reads those entries, rewrites the ones you changed, and stamps a fresh modification date on save. Stripping empties all six fields and also removes the document’s XMP metadata stream when one is present. Page content is copied without re-rendering, so the document itself is byte-for-byte the same reading experience.

Frequently asked questions

What is PDF metadata?

Data about the document stored inside the file: title, author, subject, keywords, and the creator and producer software that made it, plus creation and modification dates. Readers, search engines and document systems display these fields.

Why does my PDF show the wrong title in search results and tabs?

Readers and Google usually display the metadata title before the file name. Fix it here and the correct title travels with the file wherever it goes.

Does stripping metadata make a PDF anonymous?

It removes the six standard fields and the XMP block, which is where names and software usually leak. It cannot remove names inside the page content, and file-system details (the file name itself) are outside the PDF.

Can I set the creation date?

The editor shows the dates but does not rewrite history: saving updates only the modification date, which is the honest behaviour for a metadata edit.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The metadata is read and rewritten in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
