Remove PDF Metadata

Choose a PDF and click once: its title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer are cleared, and any embedded XMP metadata block is removed. Page content is not touched. Runs fully in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Before a document leaves your hands, take its name tags off: one click removes everything the file says about who made it.

Remove PDF Metadata — One-Click, All Fields guide

Strip every metadata field from a PDF in one click: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates — plus the XMP metadata stream — with a before/after table so you can see exactly what was removed.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose or drop your PDF. The table shows every metadata field currently in it, including the hidden creator and producer values most tools never display.
  2. Click Remove all metadata & download.
  3. The result table shows the same fields empty. The document’s pages and content are untouched — only the descriptive data is gone.

A worked example

A whistle-blower’s report must not carry its drafting software or the author name buried in its properties. One click here, and the file that circulates says nothing about where it came from.

How it works

Metadata lives in two places in a PDF: the document information dictionary (title, author, dates, creator, producer) and the XMP stream (an XML packet embedded by modern tools). This tool empties both in your browser: the dictionary fields are set to empty and the XMP stream is removed from the document entirely, then the file is saved fresh. The before/after table reads the real values back, so “removed” means verified empty, not assumed.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly gets removed?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates, and the XMP metadata stream — every field the table lists, verified empty in the result.

Why does the producer matter?

The producer/creator strings reveal the software (and sometimes the organisation’s licensed copy name) used to make the file — a common accidental leak when sharing documents.

Is this the same as the metadata editor’s clear button?

Same engine underneath; this is the one-click variant: no fields to review or edit, just complete removal with a verified before/after.

Can metadata removal break the PDF?

No — the fields are descriptive. Pages, text, links and forms are unaffected.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Inspection and removal both run in your browser — which matters, since the file’s metadata may be exactly what you do not want to share.
