PDF Metadata Editor

PDF files contain embedded metadata such as title, author, subject, keywords, and creator application name. This information appears in file properties, PDF viewer document info panels, and is used by search engines and document management systems. Properly maintained metadata is critical for discoverability, version control, and information organization.

However, there are many situations where metadata needs updating or cleaning. Previous author names may remain, internal tool identifiers should be removed before sharing, sensitive information needs to be cleared, or you want a consistent format across multiple documents. Traditionally, editing PDF metadata required expensive software like Adobe Acrobat or specialized desktop applications.

This tool lets you upload a PDF and instantly read its existing metadata, then freely edit title, author, subject, keywords, and creator fields. You can clear any field to remove unwanted information. All processing runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib, so your sensitive PDF data is never uploaded to any server and works even without internet after the page loads.

Perfect for corporate document management, academic paper preparation, public PDF property cleanup, sensitive information removal, and maintaining consistent metadata standards across teams and organizations.
