View and edit a PDF title, author, subject, keywords and dates, or remove them all
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.A PDF stores details about itself: title, author, subject, keywords, the program that created it, the producer and two dates. This editor shows all 8, lets you change or clear any of them, and saves the same values in the XMP copy that Acrobat reads. Remove all metadata strips everything. Nothing is uploaded.
Press Select PDF, or drop a PDF onto the page; its title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates appear.
Change any field, or clear it to remove that entry.
Or turn on Remove all metadata to strip every field and the XMP packet.
Press Save PDF and download the copy with the new details; nothing is uploaded.
PDF Metadata Editor reads the document properties of a PDF and lets you change them before you share the file. The title is what a browser tab and a search result show for the PDF; the author is often the name of whoever's computer made it, which is not always who should be named.
Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (the program that wrote the original document), Producer (the software that made the PDF), Created and Modified. Clear a field to remove that entry entirely. Other entries, such as custom properties from a template, are listed by name so you know they are there.
Most PDFs from Word, Acrobat or InDesign keep their details twice: in the document information and in an XMP block, and readers prefer XMP. When the file has XMP, this editor writes a new XMP block with your values, so every reader agrees. A PDF/A file keeps its PDF/A identification.
It deletes the document information and every XMP block in the file, including those attached to pages and pictures. Text, images and pages are not touched. Details inside pictures themselves, such as a photo's camera data, need Metadata Remover before the photo goes into the PDF.
Everything runs on your device; the PDF is never uploaded. To stop the content being changed after sharing, see Flatten PDF and Protect PDF.
Drop the PDF on this page, type the new title in the Title field and press Save PDF. The title is saved in the document information and, when the file has one, in its XMP block too, so browsers, Acrobat and search engines all show the new title rather than the old one.
Open the PDF here, clear the Author field and save, or turn on Remove all metadata to delete every entry at once. The author name is removed from both places a PDF keeps it, and the old value is not left anywhere in the saved file. The pages themselves are not changed.
Many PDFs store their details twice, in the document information and in an XMP block, and Acrobat reads the XMP first. Editors that change only one copy leave the old title showing. This tool writes the same values into both, so every reader shows what you typed.
Creator is the program the document was written in, such as Microsoft Word. Producer is the software that turned it into a PDF, such as a PDF printer or library. Both are often added without the author noticing, and both can be edited or cleared here like any other field.
No. Removing metadata deletes the document information and XMP blocks only. Text, pictures, fonts, links and page layout stay exactly as they were. Details stored inside the pictures, such as camera data in a photo, are part of the picture and need Metadata Remover before the photo is added.
No. The PDF is read and saved in your browser on your own device, in a background worker, and never leaves it. One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB; a password-protected PDF asks for its password first and is saved without it.
