Every PDF carries hidden document properties — invisible to readers, but essential for search engines, privacy, and file organisation.
PDF metadata includes the title, author, subject, keywords, creation date, and creator software. None of it appears on the page — it lives inside the file structure.
Google and other search engines read the PDF title and keywords to understand what the file contains. Well-crafted metadata can significantly improve how your document is discovered online.
PDFs often contain your name, company, or the software you used — embedded automatically. Strip all metadata before sharing externally to keep your personal information private.
Upload your PDF, edit the fields in the panel, and download the updated file — no software to install, no account required. Works entirely in your browser, completely free.

Everything you need to know about viewing and editing PDF document properties
PDF metadata is hidden information embedded inside a PDF file that is not visible on the pages. It includes properties such as the document title, author name, creation date, subject, keywords, and the software used to create or edit the file. Search engines, document management systems, and operating systems use this information to index and organise files.
There are several good reasons to edit PDF metadata. For privacy, you may want to remove your name or company from documents you share publicly. For SEO purposes, adding a descriptive title and relevant keywords can help search engines understand the content of your PDF. For document management, consistent metadata makes it much easier to search and sort large file archives.
Yes. Use the 'Remove all' button to completely strip all hidden metadata from your PDF. This is especially useful when sharing sensitive documents where you do not want to expose author information, creation dates, or software details.
With this tool you can edit the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and Creator fields. These are the standard PDF document properties recognised by Adobe Acrobat, Google, and most document readers. The Producer field is read-only and reflects the PDF library used to generate the file.
Completely free, with no registration or account required. You can edit PDF metadata online directly in your browser without installing any software.
Your files are uploaded securely over HTTPS, processed on the server, and automatically deleted immediately after you download the result. We do not store, read, or share your documents.
