Part of our Remove PDF Metadata suite
Before you can remove something, you need to see it. That's why this tool starts by showing you every piece of metadata buried in your PDF — author, title, creation date, modification date, producing software, and any custom properties that got baked in along the way. Most people are surprised by how much is there. A simple invoice exported from QuickBooks might carry your company's registered name, the accountant's username, and the exact version of the software. A Word-to-PDF conversion keeps the original author's Windows login. Once you've seen what's hiding in the file, a single click strips it all out and gives you a fresh copy. The whole viewer-and-remover workflow runs locally in your browser tab. No account needed, no file transfer to worry about, no cloud storage holding onto a copy of your document after the fact.

Clean metadata from PDF templates so downstream users don't inherit the original creator's personal information
Before removing anything, take a minute to read through the metadata fields. You might discover information you didn't know was being embedded — like a colleague's name on a file you thought was yours.
Keep the unmodified PDF in a backup folder before stripping metadata. If you ever need to prove authorship or creation date, the original metadata serves as evidence.
Accounting software like QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Xero often embed company details and user accounts into exported PDFs. Always clean these before sending to clients.
When you merge PDFs from different sources, the combined file can inherit metadata from any of the source documents. Run the merged file through the viewer to catch inherited fields.
