How it works

The existing metadata (title, author, subject, keywords) is read from the PDF, you edit the fields, and a new copy is saved with the updated values. The document content is not touched.

Common use cases

  • Setting a proper title on a scanned document so it shows a meaningful name in file explorers instead of the raw filename.
  • Removing the author name a colleague left when they exported the PDF, before you re-share it.
  • Adding keywords to help internal search tools index a document by topic.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to our servers — the file stays on your device from start to finish.

FAQ

Where is this metadata visible?

In the PDF viewer's "Properties" or "Document Info" panel, and in file managers that read document metadata (macOS Finder "Get Info", Windows Explorer properties tab, indexed by search engines like Spotlight).

Can I remove metadata entirely?

Yes — leave a field empty and it will be cleared on save. Useful before sharing a document publicly to avoid leaking authorship or internal keywords.
