Edit PDF Metadata Online Free
Every PDF carries hidden details — its title, author, subject, and keywords — that search engines, libraries, and document managers read. This editor shows you the current values and lets you update them in seconds, so your documents are properly labeled and discoverable. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Clean metadata matters more than people think: author names and timestamps travel with every shared file. Before sending a sensitive document externally, strip the identifying fields here — it takes seconds and closes an easy privacy leak.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PDF metadata?
Hidden document properties — title, author, subject, keywords, and software info — stored inside the PDF. Readers, search engines, and file managers use them to identify and organize documents.
Why should I edit PDF metadata?
A proper title and author make your PDF look professional, improve searchability, and help document-management systems file it correctly.
Does editing metadata change the visible content?
No. Only the hidden properties are updated; the pages look exactly the same.
Can I remove metadata instead?
Clearing a field and saving will leave that property empty in most cases. For full sanitization, check the saved file's properties.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The entire process runs inside your web browser.
