Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF metadata tool free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Metadata is read and rewritten entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

What metadata can I see and remove?

Title, author, subject, keywords, the creator/producer application, and the creation and modification dates — the same hidden fields a document properties panel would show.

Does clearing metadata change the pages themselves?

No. Only the document's Info fields change — the page content is copied across exactly as it was.

Will "Clear all fields" really remove the data, not just blank it out?

Yes. The tool rebuilds a fresh PDF and only writes back the fields you leave filled in, so anything cleared is genuinely absent from the file, not just an empty value.
