Clear Hidden Document Information

How to Use This Tool
Add the documents
Select PDF files and enter the correct password if a source is protected.
Remove metadata
Wait for all files to finish loading, then click “Remove metadata”. Each source is processed separately.
Download clean copies
Save individual PDF results, or download a ZIP when more than one file is completed.
Remove PDF Metadata: practical uses and limits
Clear supported PDF document information fields before distributing a new copy. This does not remove names printed on pages or guarantee that every possible hidden item has been eliminated. Inspect the actual document as well as its properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the tool remove?
It clears document information fields, XMP metadata and stored page thumbnails using the PDF engine’s metadata removal operation.
Will this anonymize every part of my PDF?
No. Visible page text, images and other document content are not removed. Review the content separately before sharing.
Do I need to select fields?
No. This page performs a full metadata removal. Use the metadata editor when you want to keep or change individual fields.
Can I process password-protected PDFs?
Yes, with the correct password. The saved copies do not automatically retain the original password protection.
Are multiple PDFs merged?
No. Each source produces a separate PDF. Multiple completed files are available individually and in one ZIP.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. PDF processing happens locally in your browser and the source files stay unchanged.
Is this PDF tool completely free?
Yes. Processing and downloading results are completely free. Keep an original copy for future work.
