PDF Metadata Editor

View and edit a PDF's title, author, subject, keywords and its Creator, or clear those standard fields. Handy for tidying document info before sharing. Reading and editing happen entirely in your browser; your PDF is never uploaded and the page content stays unchanged.

Drag & drop a PDF, or click to choose

Loads one PDF. It is processed on your device only and never leaves it.

Only standard document info (title, author, etc.) is changed. Separately embedded data such as XMP may remain.

How to edit PDF metadata

Load a PDF and its current metadata (document properties) appears in each field. Edit the fields or press "Clear all fields," then press "Apply & download" to save a new PDF. Everything runs on your device, so the file is never sent anywhere.

  • Load a PDF: drag & drop onto the box or click to choose. The current title, author and so on are shown.
  • Edit: change any field freely. Enter keywords comma-separated, e.g. report, 2026, proposal.
  • Clear the fields: press Clear all fields to empty every field shown — useful for clearing the author or authoring software before sharing (XMP and other embedded data are out of scope).
  • Apply & download: saves the edited PDF (named originalname_metadata.pdf).

Handy when you want to

  • Remove your name or authoring-software traces before sending a document outside your company
  • Give a shared PDF a clear title that reads well in search and file lists
  • Fix a Creator value that no longer matches reality after passing through several tools
  • Tidy up properties on documents you don't want to upload to an online converter

This tool rewrites the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator and Producer entries in the document information dictionary. Cleared fields are saved as empty values (the entries themselves may remain). It does not change the page content or the creation/modification dates. However, if the PDF embeds separate XMP metadata, those values are not rewritten and some viewers may show them instead. Password-protected or corrupted PDFs may fail to load.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Reading and editing happen entirely in your browser; your PDF is never sent to or stored on a server. It works offline once the page has loaded.
What fields can I edit?
Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (authoring software) and Producer (generating software). Creation and modification dates are shown for reference and are left unchanged on save.
What does "Clear all fields" do?
The Clear all fields button empties the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator and Producer fields without saving. Press Apply and download afterwards to save the PDF with those fields emptied. This is handy for clearing the standard document info before sharing. Only these standard fields change — if the PDF embeds separate XMP metadata, it may remain.
Does it change the PDF's contents?
No. The page content and layout stay the same; only the document properties (metadata) are rewritten, so there is no loss of quality.
