Every PDF carries hidden document properties: a title, the author's name, the program that made it and the creation date. They show up in browser tabs, search results and file details - and sometimes reveal more than you want. This tool lets you view, edit or remove PDF metadata in seconds, privately in your browser.
How to change PDF metadata
- Select the PDF. Its current properties are loaded into the fields.
- Edit the title, author, subject or keywords (separate keywords with commas).
- Or tick Remove all metadata to clean the file completely.
- Click Save PDF and download.
Why edit PDF properties?
- Better titles: browsers and Google show the PDF title instead of the file name - a clear title looks more professional and helps SEO.
- Privacy: remove your name, company, software version and dates before sharing a document publicly.
- Organization: keywords and subjects make files easier to find in document systems.
