What is Remove PDF metadata?

Create a cleaner PDF copy by clearing standard document information fields. This focused workflow does not claim to remove every embedded metadata source.

Local processingNo usage charge cost modelOn-device privacy mode

How it works

  1. Choose one PDF and let PDFSwipe read it locally.
  2. Export a new copy with supported title, author, subject, creator, producer, date, and keyword fields cleared.

How it helps

Use remove pdf metadata to complete a focused document task without changing the original file.

Input and output

Supported input. One readable PDF within 5 MB/100 pages on Free, 20 MB/500 pages on Pro, or 50 MB/2,000 pages on Business.

Output. A new PDF download with page content retained; pages and visible text are not changed.

What it cannot do yet

  • XMP streams, attachments, embedded resources, and metadata added by other systems may remain.
  • This is not redaction: visible names, comments, images, and document text are not removed.

Privacy and processing

Processing happens in your browser. This local workflow does not upload the PDF and needs no account.

Frequently asked questions

Why can metadata still appear?

Some viewers read XMP or other embedded metadata outside the standard Info dictionary. Verify the exact property with the metadata viewer.

Will this remove sensitive text?

No. Use a verified redaction workflow for visible content.
