About this tool

Strip Metadata removes hidden document information from your PDF — author name, producer application, creation and modification timestamps, and similar embedded fields.

When to use this tool

• Clean a document before sending it to an external party
• Remove author or company information from a shared PDF
• Strip creation timestamps before publishing
• Prepare files for anonymous or public distribution

Privacy

Metadata detection and removal happen entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is removed?

Author, producer, creator, creation date, modification date, and similar document-level metadata fields.

Does this change visible content?

No. Only hidden metadata is cleared. Text, images, and layout stay the same.

What if no metadata is found?

The tool will tell you the file is already clean. You can still download a copy.
