Strip every trace of metadata from your PDFs before distributing them. Author, producer, timestamps, and custom fields are all removed instantly.
Part of our Remove PDF Metadata suite
You've finished your document. It's formatted, proofread, and ready to go. But before you hit send, there's one more step most people skip: stripping the metadata. Every PDF authoring tool — Word, Google Docs, InDesign, LaTeX, LibreOffice — writes hidden fields into the file. Author names, editing software, timestamps down to the second, and sometimes even the machine name or operating system. This data persists through email forwards, cloud sharing, and website downloads. Stripping it takes seconds and removes an entire category of information you probably never intended to share. This tool does the stripping right in your browser window, so the document never touches an external server. Load the file, confirm what's in there, hit the button, and grab the cleaned version.

Strip production metadata from finalized eBook PDFs before uploading to marketplaces or sending to distributors
Any subsequent edit to a stripped PDF can re-introduce metadata. Always strip as the final action before sharing or publishing.
Some PDFs carry XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) streams with detailed editing history. This tool catches and removes those alongside the standard fields.
Court filing systems, grant submission portals, and procurement platforms all store uploaded documents as-is. Strip metadata before uploading so it doesn't persist in their systems.
For high-stakes documents, verify the removal by opening the cleaned PDF in Adobe Acrobat's Document Properties panel or by re-loading it in this tool.
