What is PDF Metadata?
PDF metadata is information embedded in a PDF file that describes the document. This includes the title, author, subject, keywords, and creation date. Metadata is used by search engines, document management systems, and PDF viewers to organise and display documents.
Editing metadata is useful for correcting incorrect information, adding missing details, improving searchability, or removing personal information before sharing a document.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata fields can I edit?
You can edit the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and Creator Application fields. These are the standard PDF metadata fields supported by all PDF viewers.
Will editing metadata change the PDF content?
No. Metadata is separate from the document content. Editing metadata only changes the document properties, not the text, images, or layout of the PDF.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF files never leave your device.
Can I remove metadata to protect privacy?
Yes. Simply clear the fields you want to remove and save. This will remove that metadata from the PDF, which is useful before sharing documents publicly.
