PDF Metadata Editor

What is the PDF Metadata Editor?

The PDF Metadata Editor is a powerful, free online tool that lets you view, change, or completely erase the hidden information (metadata) attached to your PDF documents. Whenever you create or save a PDF, software often embeds invisible data such as the author's name, software used, creation date, and document title.

Sometimes this data is useful for organizing files, but other times it can be a massive privacy risk if you are sharing a document publicly. Our tool allows you to safely edit properties like Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords directly in your browser without needing expensive software like Adobe Acrobat.

How to Edit PDF Properties Online

1. 1
   Select Your PDF File

   Click the upload button or drag and drop your PDF into the tool. The tool runs locally, so your file is never uploaded to any server.

2. 2
   View Current Metadata

   Instantly see what hidden information is currently embedded in the document, including the Author, Title, and creation dates.

3. 3
   Modify or Clear the Fields

   Type your new information into the text boxes. If you want to protect your privacy, you can simply delete the text to leave the fields blank.

4. 4
   Save and Download

   Click "Apply Changes" and then download your updated PDF. The new file will look exactly the same, but the hidden properties will be updated.

Why Edit PDF Metadata?

• ✓ Protect Privacy: Before uploading a resume or legal document to the web, clear the 'Author' field to prevent strangers from seeing your computer username or real name.
• ✓ Improve SEO: If you host PDFs on your website (like e-books or whitepapers), Google reads the PDF Title and Subject metadata to rank it in search results.
• ✓ Professionalism: Fix embarrassing typos in the 'Title' field that often appear in the top tab of a user's browser when they open the PDF.
