PDF Metadata Editor
Read, rewrite or clear the title, author, subject and keywords in a PDF.
See and Change What a PDF Says About Itself
Every PDF carries a block of metadata that nobody looks at until it matters: a title that is still the template’s, an author field naming a colleague who left two years ago, a producer string announcing which software made it. Search engines read it, file managers display it, and anyone who opens the document properties sees it.
This tool shows you exactly what is in there and lets you rewrite it or clear it out entirely.
Key features
- See the current values first — including fields you did not know were set.
- Edit the five that matter — title, author, subject, keywords and creator.
- Clear everything in one click — the sensible default before sending a document outside your organisation.
- Written cleanly — the rewritten file carries exactly the fields you set and nothing else.
- Nothing uploaded — the metadata you are removing is often the reason you came here.
This tool runs entirely inside your browser using native Web APIs. Your files and text are never uploaded to a server, never logged and never shared with third parties.

Frequently asked questions
Does clearing the metadata remove everything identifying?
It removes the document information fields, which is where names and software strings live. It does not remove text inside the document, comments, or the content of embedded images — those are the document itself, not metadata about it.
What is the difference between /Info and XMP metadata?
Both store the same kind of information. <code>/Info</code> is the original dictionary; XMP is a newer XML block. A reader that finds both prefers XMP, so this tool writes the document without a stale XMP block rather than leaving one that would override your edit.
Why does the producer field say JebaTech after editing?
Because this tool produced the file you are downloading, and that is what the producer field is for. You can set it to anything you like, or clear it with the rest.
Does editing metadata change the pages?
No. The pages are copied across unchanged; only the information dictionary is rewritten. Text, images and layout are byte-for-byte what they were.
