PDF Metadata Remover

Before sharing a PDF externally, you may not want it to reveal who created it, what software was used, or other embedded details. This tool rebuilds the PDF with that metadata cleared out.

Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Choose a PDF file.
  2. Click Remove Metadata.
  3. Download the cleaned file.

Why Use ToolVigo's PDF Metadata Remover

  • Clears title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer fields.
  • Page content, fonts and images are untouched.
  • Rebuilds the file rather than just blanking fields, so old values aren't recoverable from the output file.

Limitations

Clears the standard document-info fields; does not strip XMP metadata streams if present, or metadata embedded within images. Cannot process an encrypted PDF directly — unlock it first.

Privacy & Security

This tool runs entirely in your browser using a PDF engine built for ToolVigo. Your PDF is never uploaded to our servers — opening, editing and saving all happen on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this remove metadata hidden inside images in the PDF?

No — this clears the PDF's own document-info fields. Photos embedded in the PDF may carry their own separate metadata (like EXIF data), which isn't touched by this tool.

Will the PDF still work normally afterward?

Yes — only the informational metadata is cleared; all page content, fonts and images are preserved exactly.
