Runs fully in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Drop or choose a PDF.
Edit the fields you want, or click Clear all metadata.
Click Save and download the updated PDF.
Frequently asked questions
No. Your PDF is processed inside your browser tab and never leaves your device.
Yes, Clear all metadata empties every field before you save.

No, only the Document Properties (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords) change - the pages themselves are untouched.
