Frequently asked questions
What is PDF metadata?
Metadata are the document properties stored inside a PDF: title, author, subject, keywords, the app that created it and the PDF producer. You see them in the document properties of your PDF reader.
How do I edit PDF metadata?
Add your PDF and the current values load into the form. Change the fields you want, click Save metadata and download the updated file.
Why does the PDF title matter?
Many browsers and PDF readers show the Title field in the tab or window instead of the file name, and search engines can read it too. A clear title makes a shared PDF look more professional.
How do I enter several keywords?
Type them in the Keywords field separated by commas or semicolons. Each one is saved as a separate keyword.
Can I remove all metadata?
Click Clear all fields and save to empty the properties. To also strip hidden XMP data, comments, scripts and attachments, use Clean PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The properties are read and saved in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device.
How can I see the meta info of a PDF?
Add the PDF and its current meta info, the title, author, subject, keywords and creator, loads into the form so you can read it. Change any field and save, or leave it as it is if you only wanted to check it.
