Frequently asked questions

Is the metadata remover free?

Yes, free and unlimited. Strip metadata from as many PDFs as you want with no signup.

Is my document uploaded to clean its metadata?

No. The metadata is wiped locally in your browser and the cleaned PDF is saved directly on your device.

Is there a limit on file size?

No hard limit. Processing is local, so the only real constraint is your device's memory, and metadata cleaning is a light operation anyway.

What metadata gets removed?

Author, title, producing software and the hidden XMP block are all removed in one click. Every field starts blank, and you can keep a specific one only if you choose to.

How is this different from editing metadata?

This tool clears everything by default for a fast clean sweep. The edit metadata tool is the alternative when you want to review and rewrite fields instead of erasing them.
