What metadata does a PDF contain?

Common fields are title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, producer, and creation and modification dates. Many PDFs also embed an XMP metadata stream with the same details.

Does this remove hidden text or comments?

No. Metadata removal only clears document properties. Use Flatten PDF to burn in comments, or redact content separately.

Do you store or retain my processed files?

No. Online PDF Editor processes files in your browser using local memory. Your files are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the browser tab clears them from the tool.

Remove Metadata from PDF deletes hidden document properties such as author name, company, title, creating software, and the XMP metadata stream. These details can reveal who wrote a document or which tools were used. Stripping runs in your browser, so the file stays private.
